5. If I forget you, O Jerusalem,may my right hand be crippled!
6. May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth,if I do not remember you,and do not give Jerusalem priorityover whatever gives me the most joy.
7. Remember, O Lord, what the Edomites didon the day Jerusalem fell.They said, “Tear it down, tear it down,right to its very foundation!”
8. O daughter Babylon, soon to be devastated!How blessed will be the one who repays youfor what you dished out to us!
