1. A Psalm of David: to Jeremiah. Above the rivers of Babylon, there we sat and wept, while we remembered Zion.
2. By the willow trees, in their midst, we hung up our instruments.
3. For, in that place, those who led us into captivity questioned us about the words of the songs. And those who carried us away said: "Sing us a hymn from the songs of Zion."
4. How can we sing a song of the Lord in a foreign land?
5. If I ever forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand be forgotten.
6. May my tongue adhere to my jaws, if I do not remember you, if I do not set Jerusalem first, as the beginning of my joy.
