Exiles in Babylon Longing For Zion
1   By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
2   We hung our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
3   For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
4   How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a foreign land?
5   If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its cunning.
6   If I do not remember you, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
7   Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Raze it, raze it, even to the foundation thereof.
8   O daughter of Babylon, who are to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewards you as you have served us.
9   Happy shall he be, that takes and dashes your little ones against the stones.
