By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strange land?
If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.
O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
Text sources and edition

The traditional KJV Common Cambridge Text is used, with its supplied-word italics. This is not the NKJV or a facsimile of the first 1611 printing. Bible text and original Strong’s dictionaries are public domain in the United States; the Greek electronic edition has a CC0 dedication. See the included source manifest. Administrators can correct text; corrections are recorded separately from the imported source.

Additional texts: Book of Enoch (1 Enoch), R. H. Charles, 1917; Book of Jasher, historical English translation reproduced in the 1887 edition. These are separate from the KJV. The category title is the site’s chosen designation. The surviving Jasher edition is not established as the lost book cited in Joshua 10:13 and 2 Samuel 1:18. Charles’s critical symbols and parallel readings are retained; numbered subverses share their parent verse. See the supplied source notes.
