- May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy.
- Remember, O LORD, what the Edomites did on the day Jerusalem fell. "Tear it down," they cried, "tear it down to its foundations!"
- O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us-
- he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.

- May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth If I do not remember you, If I do not exalt Jerusalem Above my chief joy.
- Remember, O LORD, against the sons of Edom The day of Jerusalem, Who said, "Raze it, raze it To its very foundation."
- O daughter of Babylon, you devastated one, How blessed will be the one who repays you With the recompense with which you have repaid us.
- How blessed will be the one who seizes and dashes your little ones Against the rock.
