Remember, O Lord, against the sons of ^(A)Edom
The day of Jerusalem,
Who said, “Raze it, raze it

O daughter of Babylon, you ^(a)^(C)devastated one,
How blessed will be the one who ^(D)repays you
With ^(b)the recompense with which you have repaid us.

How blessed will be the one who seizes and ^(E)dashes your little ones
Against the rock.
