Im eshkachech Yerushalayim, Tishkach yemini. Tid'bak leshoni lechiki, Im-lo ezkereichi: Im-lo a'aleh et Yerushalayim Al rosh simchati... Ha'omrim: "Aru, aru— ad hayessod bah!" IF I FORGET THEE JERUSALEM If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, Let my right hand forget her cunning. Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, If I remember thee not; If I set not Jerusalem Above my chiefest joy. (Against) who said: 'Rase it, rase it, even to its very foundation.' אִם-אֶשְׁכָּחֵךְ יְרוּשָׁלִָם אִם-אֶשְׁכָּחֵךְ יְרוּשָׁלִָם-- תִּשְׁכַּח יְמִינִי. תִּדְבַּק-לְשׁוֹנִי, לְחִכִּי-- אִם-לֹא אֶזְכְּרֵכִי: אִם-לֹא אַעֲלֶה, אֶת-יְרוּשָׁלִַם-- עַל, רֹאשׁ שִׂמְחָתִי. ... הָאֹמְרִים, עָרוּ עָרוּ-- עַד, הַיְסוֹד בָּהּ.
