4 Como cantaríamos canções do SENHOR em terra estrangeira?
5 Se eu me esquecer de ti, ó Jerusalém, que minha mão direita se esqueça [de sua habilidade] .
6 Que minha língua grude no céu da boca se eu não me lembrar de ti, se eu não pôr Jerusalém acima de todas as minhas alegrias.
7 Lembra-te, SENHOR, dos filhos de Edom no dia de Jerusalém, que diziam: Arruinai [-a] ,arruinai [-a] ,até ao seus fundamentos!
8 Ah filha de Babilônia, que serás destruída! Bem-aventurado a quem te retribuir o que fizeste conosco.
