1By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion.1עַ֥ל נַהֲר֨וֹת ׀ בָּבֶ֗ל שָׁ֣ם יָ֭שַׁבְנוּ גַּם־ בָּכִ֑ינוּ בְּ֝זָכְרֵ֗נוּ אֶת־ צִיּֽוֹן׃
2There on the willows we hung our harps,2עַֽל־ עֲרָבִ֥ים בְּתוֹכָ֑הּ תָּ֝לִ֗ינוּ כִּנֹּרוֹתֵֽינוּ׃
3for there our captors requested a song; our tormentors demanded songs of joy: “Sing us a song of Zion.”3כִּ֤י שָׁ֨ם שְֽׁאֵל֪וּנוּ שׁוֹבֵ֡ינוּ דִּבְרֵי־ שִׁ֭יר וְתוֹלָלֵ֣ינוּ שִׂמְחָ֑ה שִׁ֥ירוּ לָ֝֗נוּ מִשִּׁ֥יר צִיּֽוֹן׃
4How can we sing a song of the LORD in a foreign land?4אֵ֗יךְ נָשִׁ֥יר אֶת־ שִׁיר־ יְהוָ֑ה עַ֝֗ל אַדְמַ֥ת נֵכָֽר׃
5If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand cease to function.5אִֽם־ אֶשְׁכָּחֵ֥ךְ יְֽרוּשָׁלִָ֗ם תִּשְׁכַּ֥ח יְמִינִֽי׃
6May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not exalt Jerusalem as my greatest joy!6תִּדְבַּ֥ק־ לְשׁוֹנִ֨י ׀ לְחִכִּי֮ אִם־ לֹ֪א אֶ֫זְכְּרֵ֥כִי אִם־ לֹ֣א אַ֭עֲלֶה אֶת־ יְרוּשָׁלִַ֑ם עַ֝֗ל רֹ֣אשׁ שִׂמְחָתִֽי׃
7Remember, O LORD, the sons of Edom on the day Jerusalem fell: “Destroy it,” they said, “tear it down to its foundations!”7זְכֹ֤ר יְהוָ֨ה ׀ לִבְנֵ֬י אֱד֗וֹם אֵת֮ י֤וֹם יְֽרוּשָׁ֫לִָ֥ם הָ֭אֹ֣מְרִים עָ֤רוּ ׀ עָ֑רוּ עַ֝֗ד הַיְס֥וֹד בָּֽהּ׃
8O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, blessed is he who repays you as you have done to us.8בַּת־ בָּבֶ֗ל הַשְּׁד֫וּדָ֥ה אַשְׁרֵ֥י שֶׁיְשַׁלֶּם־ לָ֑ךְ אֶת־ גְּ֝מוּלֵ֗ךְ שֶׁגָּמַ֥לְתְּ לָֽנוּ׃
9Blessed is he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.9אַשְׁרֵ֤י ׀ שֶׁיֹּאחֵ֓ז וְנִפֵּ֬ץ אֶֽת־ עֹ֝לָלַ֗יִךְ אֶל־ הַסָּֽלַע׃
