By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat and we wept

As we remembered Zion. Upon the willows on its banks we hung

up our harps. But how shall we sing the song of our L-rd on foreign soil?

Before the mountains were born

Before you set forth the earth and the inhabited world

 

From world to world You are the Almighty

From world to world You are our L-rd

From world to world You are the Great Spirit

From world to world You are HaShem
