Dual Panel1By <05921> the rivers <05104> of Babylon <0894> we sit down <03427> and <01571> weep <01058> when we remember <02142> Zion <06726>.
2On <05921> the poplars <06155> in her midst <08432> we hang <08518> our harps <03658>,
3for <03588> there <08033> our captors <07617> ask <07592> us to compose songs <07892> <01697>; those who mock <08437> us demand that we be happy <08057>, saying: “Sing <07891> for us a song <07892> about Zion <06726>!”
4How <0349> can we sing <07891> a song <07892> to the Lord <03068> in <05921> a foreign <05236> land <0127>?
5If <0518> I forget <07911> you, O Jerusalem <03389>, may my right hand <03225> be crippled <07911>!
6May my tongue <03956> stick <01692> to the roof of <02441> my mouth <02441>, if <0518> I do not <03808> remember <02142> you, and do not <03808> give <05927> Jerusalem <03389> priority <05927> over <05921> whatever gives me the most joy <08057>.
7Remember <02142>, O Lord <03068>, what the Edomites <0123> <01121> did on the day <03117> Jerusalem <03389> fell. They said <0559>, “Tear <06168> it down <06168>, tear <06168> it down <06168>, right to <05704> its very foundation <03247>!”
8O daughter <01323> Babylon <0894>, soon to be devastated <07703>! How blessed <0835> will be the one who repays <07999> you for what you dished out <01580> to us!
9How blessed <0835> will be the one who grabs <0270> your babies <05768> and smashes <05310> them on <0413> a rock <05553>!
