By the waters of Babylon there we sat

We wept when we remembered Zion

By the waters of Babylon there we sat

We wept when we remembered Zion

We hanged our harps upon the willow trees

For there they that called us away

Required off us a song, required of us mirth

Saying sing us one of the songs of Zion

How shall we sing the Lord’s song

In a strange land

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem

Let my right hand forget her cunning

If I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy

My chief joy

By the rivers of Babylon there we sat

We wept when we remembered Zion

By the rivers of Babylon there we sat

We wept when we remembered Zion

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem

They shall prosper that love thee

Peace be within thy walls

Prosperity within thy palaces

Because of the house of the Lord our God

I will seek thy good

I will seek thy good

I will seek thy good
