3. For there a song required they,who did us captive bring:Our spoilers call'd for mirth, and said,A song of Sion sing.
4. O how the Lord's song shall we singwithin a foreign land?
5. If thee, Jerus'lem, I forget,skill part from my right hand.
6. My tongue to my mouth's roof let cleave,if I do thee forget,Jerusalem, and thee abovemy chief joy do not set.
7. Remember Edom's children, Lord,who in Jerus'lems day,Ev'n unto its foundation,Raze, raze it quite, did say.
8. O daughter thou of Babylon,near to destruction;Bless'd shall he be that thee rewards,as thou to us hast done.
9. Yea, happy surely shall he bethy tender little onesWho shall lay hold upon,and them shall dash against the stones.
