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

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