Y the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.

How shall we sing the song in a † strange land?

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.

If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above † my chief joy.

Remember, O, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, † Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.

Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against † the stones. 

A Psalm of David.

Will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.

All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O, when they hear the words of thy mouth.

Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the : for great is the glory of the.

Though the be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

The will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.  4 B 2
