lyrics

V1
1By the waters of Babylon
There we sat and wept
When we remembered Zion,
2On the willows there we hung our harps
On the willows hung our harps.

C1
3For there our captors required of us songs
Our tormentors called for mirth
Saying, sing, oh sing for us one of Zion’s songs
Sing for us one of Zion’s songs

V2
4How shall we sing the LORD’s song
In a foreign land?
5If I forget you, Jerusalem,
Let my right hand forget its skill
Let my right hand forget its skill

C2
6Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
If I do not remember you
If I do not regard Jerusalem
Higher than my highest joy,

Instrumental

V3
7Lord, remember the children
Of the Edomites
On the day of Jerusalem,
“Tear it down” they cried, “to its foundations”
“Tear it down to its foundations!”

C3
8O daughter of Babylon, doomed to be destroyed,
Blessed is he who repays you
Blessed is he who gives you what you have done to us
9He who takes your little ones
Dashes them against the rock!

4How shall we sing the Lord’s song
In a foreign land?
