May my (A)tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
If I do not remember you,
If I do not [a](B)exalt Jerusalem
Above my chief joy.

Remember, Lord, against the sons of (C)Edom
The day of Jerusalem,
Those who said, “Lay it bare, lay it bare
(D)To its foundation!”
Daughter of Babylon, you [b](E)devastated one,
Blessed will be one who (F)repays you
With [c]the retribution with which you have repaid us.
