1У рек Вавилона мы сидели и плакали, когда вспоминали Сион.2Там на ивах мы повесили наши арфы.3Там пленившие нас требовали от нас песен, притеснители наши требовали от нас веселья, говоря: «Спойте нам одну из песен Сиона».4Как нам петь песнь Господа в чужой земле?5Если я забуду тебя, Иерусалим, то пусть забудет моя правая рука свои умения.6Если не буду помнить тебя, то пусть прилипнет язык мой к небу, если не поставлю Иерусалим во главе своего веселья.7Припомни, Господи, сыновей Эдома в день захвата вавилонянами Иерусалима, как они говорили: «Разрушайте, разрушайте его до основания!»8Дочь Вавилона[1], обреченная на разорение: блажен тот, кто воздаст тебе за то, что ты сделала с нами.9Блажен тот, кто возьмет и разобьет твоих младенцев о камень.
Psalm 136
