<- PSALM 2037 ->

The Exile's Remembrance of Zion

1 By the rivers of Babylon we sat mourning
and weeping when we remembered Zion.

2 On the poplars of that land we hung up our harps.

3 There our captors asked us for the words of a song;
Our tormentors, for a joyful song: "Sing for us a song of Zion!"

4 But how could we sing a song of the LORD in a foreign land?

5 If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand wither.

6 May my tongue stick to my palate if I do not remember you,
If I do not exalt Jerusalem beyond all my delights.

7 Remember, LORD, against Edom that day at Jerusalem.
They said: "Level it, level it down to its foundations!"

8 Fair Babylon, you destroyer,

 

happy those who pay you back the evil you have done us!

9 Happy those who seize your children
and smash them against a rock.
