 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.**

 4 How shall we sing the LORD’s song in a strange land?*

 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.*

 7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase *it*, rase *it, even* to the foundation thereof.*

 8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy *shall he be*, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.**

 9 Happy *shall he be*, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.*
