5. If I forget you, O Jerusalem,let my right hand forget how to play the harp.
6. May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouthif I fail to remember you,if I don’t make Jerusalem my greatest joy.
7. O lord, remember what the Edomites didon the day the armies of Babylon captured Jerusalem.“Destroy it!” they yelled.“Level it to the ground!”
8. O Babylon, you will be destroyed.Happy is the one who pays you backfor what you have done to us.
9. Happy is the one who takes your babiesand smashes them against the rocks!
