5 If I forget you, Jerusalem,

may my right hand forget its skill.

5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem,

Let my right hand forget her cunning.

5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem,

let my right hand forget how to play the harp.

5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem,

Let my right hand forget its skill!

5 Jerusalem, if I forget you,

let my right hand lose its skill.

5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem,

Let my right hand forget her skill.

5 If I forget thee, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill;

5 If I forget you, Jerusalem, 

let my right hand forget ⸤how to play the lyre⸥. 

5 If I forget you, Jerusalem,

may my right hand forget its skill.

5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem,

let my right hand wither!

5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem,

let my right hand forget.

5 Jerusalem, if I forget you,

may my right hand never be able to play the harp again.

5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem,

May my right hand forget her skill.
