4. How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?
5. If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill [with the harp].
6. Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth if I remember you not, if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy! [Ezek. 3:26.]
7. Remember, O Lord, against the Edomites, that they said in the day of Jerusalem's fall, Down, down to the ground with her!
8. O Daughter of Babylon [you devastator, you!], who [ought to be and] shall be destroyed, happy and blessed shall he be who requites you as you have served us. [Isa. 13:1-22; Jer. 25:12, 13.]
9. Happy and blessed shall he be who takes and dashes your little ones against the rock!
