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. |
|

|
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. |
