BY the rivers of Babylon, there we sat ;
We wept when we remembered Zion.
Upon the willows in the midst of it
We hanged our harps.

For there they who had carried us away captives required of us a song;

And they who had brought us a way required | joy.

"Sing us one of the songs of | Zion."

"How can we sing a song of Jehovah in the | land of a stranger?

When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion, We were like them that dream.

Then was our mouth | filled with | laughter,

And our tongue with singing.

Peace be with in thy walls,

Prosperity in thy | palaces!

For my brethren and companions' | sake

I wish thee peace!

For the sake of the temple of our God

I bless thee with | good,
