⁴ How shall we sing the song of the Lord
    in a foreign land?
⁵ If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
    let my right hand forget its skill.
⁶ If I do not remember you,
    let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth,
if I do not have Jerusalem
    as my highest joy.

⁷ Remember, O Lord, the people of Edom
    in the day of Jerusalem,
who said, “Raze it, raze it,
    down to its foundations.”

⁸ O daughter of Babylon, who is to be destroyed,
    blessed is the one who rewards you
    as you have done to us.
⁹ Blessed is the one who takes
    and dashes your little ones against the rocks.
