          <english>עַל The following is a song that describes how the Jewish Nation was sent to exile in Babylon after the First Temple was destroyed: &lt;b&gt;We sat there by the rivers of Babylon, and we cried when we remembered&lt;/b&gt; the destroyed city of &lt;b&gt;Zion&lt;/b&gt; (Jerusalem). &lt;b&gt;Our harps,&lt;/b&gt; with which we played music in the Temple, &lt;b&gt;we hung on willow trees&lt;/b&gt; in Babylon so that our enemies would not see them. We did this &lt;b&gt;because the people who imprisoned us,&lt;/b&gt; Nebuchadnezzar and his men, &lt;b&gt;asked us to sing songs&lt;/b&gt; for them &lt;b&gt;there; those who mocked us&lt;/b&gt; told us to play &lt;b&gt;joyful&lt;/b&gt; music. They said, &lt;b&gt;&quot;Sing for us the songs of Jerusalem,&lt;/b&gt; which you sang in the Temple.&quot; But we thought to ourselves: &lt;b&gt;How can we sing the songs&lt;/b&gt; that were made &lt;b&gt;for the Lord, on land&lt;/b&gt; that is &lt;b&gt;unholy and strange?&lt;/b&gt; We each promised ourselves: &lt;b&gt;If I forget the city of Jerusalem, let my right hand forget&lt;/b&gt; how to move. Just as a person does not forget how to use his hand, the Jewish Nation will never forget Jerusalem. &lt;b&gt;If I don&apos;t remember you, Jerusalem, let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth,&lt;/b&gt; so that I will not be able to eat anything. Let the same thing happen &lt;b&gt;if I do not bring Jerusalem up&lt;/b&gt; in my mind &lt;b&gt;at the highest point of my happiness.&lt;/b&gt;</english>

They said, &lt;b&gt;&quot;Destroy it completely; destroy it until its foundation.&quot;&lt;/b&gt; To the nation of Babylon, which will one day be destroyed, we say: &lt;b&gt;Fortunate is the one who will pay you back&lt;/b&gt; for the terrible things that you have done to us. &lt;b&gt;Fortunate is the one who will hold and crush your babies against the rock,&lt;/b&gt; just as the Babylonians did to our babies.</english>
