5If I forget Jerusalem, may my right hand forget how to play;
6May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don't remember you—if I don't consider Jerusalem my greatest joy.
7Lord, please remember what the people of Edom did on the day Jerusalem fell, the ones who said “Tear it down! Destroy it down to its foundations!”
8Daughter of Babylon, you will be destroyed! Happy is the one who pays you back, who does to you what you did to us!
9Happy is the one who grabs your children and smashes them against the rocks!
