1By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept When we remembered Zion.1עַ֥ל נַהֲר֨וֹת ׀ בָּבֶ֗ל שָׁ֣ם יָ֭שַׁבְנוּ גַּם־ בָּכִ֑ינוּ בְּ֝זָכְרֵ֗נוּ אֶת־ צִיּֽוֹן׃
2We hung our harps Upon the willows in the midst of it.2עַֽל־ עֲרָבִ֥ים בְּתוֹכָ֑הּ תָּ֝לִ֗ינוּ כִּנֹּרוֹתֵֽינוּ׃
3For there those who carried us away captive asked of us a song, And those who plundered us requested mirth, Saying, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”3כִּ֤י שָׁ֨ם שְֽׁאֵל֪וּנוּ שׁוֹבֵ֡ינוּ דִּבְרֵי־ שִׁ֭יר וְתוֹלָלֵ֣ינוּ שִׂמְחָ֑ה שִׁ֥ירוּ לָ֝֗נוּ מִשִּׁ֥יר צִיּֽוֹן׃
4How shall we sing the LORD’s song In a foreign land?4אֵ֗יךְ נָשִׁ֥יר אֶת־ שִׁיר־ יְהוָ֑ה עַ֝֗ל אַדְמַ֥ת נֵכָֽר׃
5If I forget you, O Jerusalem, Let my right hand forget its skill!5אִֽם־ אֶשְׁכָּחֵ֥ךְ יְֽרוּשָׁלִָ֗ם תִּשְׁכַּ֥ח יְמִינִֽי׃
6If I do not remember you, Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth— If I do not exalt Jerusalem Above my chief joy.6תִּדְבַּ֥ק־ לְשׁוֹנִ֨י ׀ לְחִכִּי֮ אִם־ לֹ֪א אֶ֫זְכְּרֵ֥כִי אִם־ לֹ֣א אַ֭עֲלֶה אֶת־ יְרוּשָׁלִַ֑ם עַ֝֗ל רֹ֣אשׁ שִׂמְחָתִֽי׃
7Remember, O LORD, against the sons of Edom The day of Jerusalem, Who said, “Raze it, raze it, To its very foundation!”7זְכֹ֤ר יְהוָ֨ה ׀ לִבְנֵ֬י אֱד֗וֹם אֵת֮ י֤וֹם יְֽרוּשָׁ֫לִָ֥ם הָ֭אֹ֣מְרִים עָ֤רוּ ׀ עָ֑רוּ עַ֝֗ד הַיְס֥וֹד בָּֽהּ׃
8O daughter of Babylon, who are to be destroyed, Happy the one who repays you as you have served us!8בַּת־ בָּבֶ֗ל הַשְּׁד֫וּדָ֥ה אַשְׁרֵ֥י שֶׁיְשַׁלֶּם־ לָ֑ךְ אֶת־ גְּ֝מוּלֵ֗ךְ שֶׁגָּמַ֥לְתְּ לָֽנוּ׃
9Happy the one who takes and dashes Your little ones against the rock!9אַשְׁרֵ֤י ׀ שֶׁיֹּאחֵ֓ז וְנִפֵּ֬ץ אֶֽת־ עֹ֝לָלַ֗יִךְ אֶל־ הַסָּֽלַע׃
