Remember, O Lord, against the sons of Edom,
The day of [the fall of] Jerusalem,
Who said “Down, down [with her]
To her very foundation.”

O daughter of Babylon, you devastator,
How blessed will be the one
Who repays you [with destruction] as you have repaid us.(A)

How blessed will be the one who seizes and dashes your little ones
Against the rock.

    on the day Jerusalem fell.(B)

    according to what you have done to us.
Happy is the one who seizes your infants
    and dashes them(E) against the rocks.
