Remember, O Lord, against (A)the sons of Edom
The day of Jerusalem,
Who said, [a]“Raze it, raze it,
To its very foundation!”

O daughter of Babylon, (B)who are to be destroyed,
Happy the one (C)who repays you as you have served us!
Happy the one who takes and (D)dashes
Your little ones against the rock!

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