## We Wept When We Remembered Zion 

###### 1
By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat and also wept, When we remembered Zion. 

###### 2
Upon the willows in the midst of it We hung our lyres. 

###### 3
For there our captors asked us about the words of a song, And our tormentors _asked_ joyfully, _saying_, "Sing for us one of the songs of Zion." 

###### 4
How can we sing a song of Yahweh In a foreign land? 

###### 5
If I forget you, O Jerusalem, May my right hand forget _her skill_. 

###### 6
May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth If I do not remember you, If I do not exalt Jerusalem Above my chief joy. 

###### 7
Remember, O Yahweh, against the sons of Edom The day of Jerusalem, Who said, "Tear it down! Tear it down To its very foundation." 

###### 8
O daughter of Babylon, you devastated one, How blessed will be the one who repays you With the recompense with which you have recompensed us. 

###### 9
How blessed will be the one who seizes and dashes your infants Against the cliff.
