1¤ Upon the rivers of Babylon, there we sat and wept: when we remembered Sion:2On the willows in the midst thereof we hung up our instruments.3For there they that led us into captivity required of us the words of songs. And they that carried us away, said: Sing ye to us a hymn of the songs of Sion.4How shall we sing the song of the Lord in a strange land?5If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand be forgotten.6Let my tongue cleave to my jaws, if I do not remember thee: If I make not Jerusalem the beginning of my joy.7Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom, in the day of Jerusalem: Who say: Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.8O daughter of Babylon, miserable: blessed shall he be who shall repay thee thy payment which thou hast paid us.9Blessed be he that shall take and dash thy little ones against the rock.

For David himself.1¤ I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: for thou hast heard the words of my mouth. I will sing praise to thee in the sight of the angels:2I will worship towards thy holy temple, and I will give glory to thy name. For thy mercy, and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy holy name above all.3In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me: thou shalt multiply strength in my soul.4May all the kings of the earth give glory to thee: for they have heard all the words of thy mouth.5And let them sing in the ways of the Lord: for great is the glory of the Lord.6For the Lord is high, and looketh on the low: and the high he knoweth afar off.7If I shall walk in the midst of tribulation, thou wilt quicken me: and thou hast stretched forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies: and thy right hand hath saved me.8The Lord will repay for me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: O despise not the works of thy hands.
