Lord, remember to punish the people of Edom.[a]
They were happy when Babylon's army won against Jerusalem.
On that day the Edomites said,
    ‘Knock down the city so that nothing still stands!’
People of Babylon, an army will soon destroy you!
They will punish you in the same way that you punished us.
    May God bless whoever does that to you!
Just like you did to us,
    they will hit your babies against a rock.
May God bless whoever does that to you!
