Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth
    if I do not remember you,
if I do not ·think about Jerusalem
    as my greatest joy [or go up to Jerusalem with joy on my head].

Lord, remember ·what the Edomites did [L the sons of Edom]
    on the day ·Jerusalem fell [L of Jerusalem; Lam. 4:21; Ezek. 25:12–14; 35:5–15; Obad. 11–14].
They said, “Tear it down!
    Tear it down to its foundations!”

·People [L Daughter] of Babylon, you will be destroyed.
    The people who pay you back for what you did to us will be ·happy [blessed].
