Berean Standard Bible
1Upon the rivers of Babylon, there we sat and wept: when we remembered Sion:
1Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good. His loving devotion endures forever.
2On the willows in the midst thereof we hung up our instruments.
2Give thanks to the God of gods. His loving devotion endures forever.
3For there they that led us into captivity required of us the words of songs. And they that carried us away, said: Sing ye to us a hymn of the songs of Sion.
3Give thanks to the Lord of lords. His loving devotion endures forever.
4How shall we sing the song of the Lord in a strange land?
4He alone does great wonders. His loving devotion endures forever.
5If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand be forgotten.
5By His insight He made the heavens. His loving devotion endures forever.
6Let my tongue cleave to my jaws, if I do not remember thee: If I make not Jerusalem the beginning of my joy.
6He spread out the earth upon the waters. His loving devotion endures forever.
7Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom, in the day of Jerusalem: Who say: Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.
7He made the great lights— His loving devotion endures forever.
8O daughter of Babylon, miserable: blessed shall he be who shall repay thee thy payment which thou hast paid us.
8the sun to rule the day, His loving devotion endures forever.
9Blessed be he that shall take and dash thy little ones against the rock.
9the moon and stars to govern the night. His loving devotion endures forever.
