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.

The day of Jerusalem,
Who said, “Raze it, raze it
(D)To its very foundation.”

How blessed will be the one who (F)repays you
With [c]the recompense with which you have repaid us.
