EpiBar
[For David, a Psalm of Jeremias.]
[1]By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat; and wept when we remembered Sion. [No book]
[2]We hung our harps on the willows in the midst of it. [No book]
[3]For there they that had taken us captive asked of us the words of a song; and they that had carried us away asked a hymn, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Sion. [No book]
[4]How should we sing the Lord's song in a strange land? [No book]
[5]If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill. [No book]
[6]May my tongue cleave to my throat, if I do not remember thee; if I do not prefer Jerusalem as the chief of my joy. [No book]
[7]Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to its foundations. [No book]
[8]Wretched daughter of Babylon! blessed shall he be who shall reward thee as thou hast rewarded us. [No book]
[9]Blessed shall he be who shall seize and dash thine infants against the rock. [No book]
