1	By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down# , yea, we wept# , when we remembered# Zion.
			2	We hanged# our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
			3	For there they that carried us away captive# required# of us a song# ; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying , Sing# us one of the songs of Zion. [a song: Heb. the words of a song] [wasted...: Heb. laid us on heaps]
			4	How shall we sing# the LORD'S song in a strange land? [strange...: Heb. land of a stranger?]
			5	If I forget# thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget# her cunning .
			6	If I do not remember# thee, let my tongue cleave# to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer# not Jerusalem above my chief joy. [my chief...: Heb. the head of my joy]
			7	Remember# , O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said# , Rase# it , rase# it, even to the foundation thereof. [Rase it: Heb. Make bare]
			8	O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed# ; happy shall he be , that rewardeth# thee as thou hast served# # us. [destroyed: Heb. wasted] [rewardeth...: Heb. recompenseth unto thee thy deed which thou didst to us]
			9	Happy shall he be , that taketh# and dasheth# thy little ones against the stones. [the stones: Heb. the rock]
