Where he sat down

And there he wept

When he remembered Zion

Cause, the wicked carried us away in captivity

Required from us a song

In a strange land?

Cause, the wicked carried us away in captivity

Required from us a song

How can we sing King Alpha's song

In a strange land?

And the meditation of our heart

Be acceptable in Thy sight Oh, verai!

So let the words of our mouth

And the meditation of our heart

Be acceptable in Thy sight Oh, verai!
