3 for our captors there asked us for songs, and our tormentors, for rejoicing: "Sing us one of the songs of Zion."

5 If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand forget [its skill].
5 If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill.
6 May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not exalt Jerusalem as my greatest joy!
6 May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy.
7 Remember, Lord, [what] the Edomites said that day at Jerusalem: "Destroy it! Destroy it down to its foundations!"
