¹ Praise the LORD, who is so good; God's love endures forever;	¹ A Psalm of David: to Jeremiah. Above the rivers of Babylon, there we sat and wept, while we remembered Zion.
² Praise the God of gods; God's love endures forever;	² By the willow trees, in their midst, we hung up our instruments.
³ Praise the Lord of lords; God's love endures forever;	³ For, in that place, those who led us into captivity questioned us about the words of the songs. And those who carried us away said: “Sing us a hymn from the songs of Zion.”
⁴ Who alone has done great wonders, God's love endures forever;	⁴ How can we sing a song of the Lord in a foreign land?
⁵ Who skillfully made the heavens, God's love endures forever;	⁵ If I ever forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand be forgotten.
⁶ Who spread the earth upon the waters, God's love endures forever;	⁶ May my tongue adhere to my jaws, if I do not remember you, if I do not set Jerusalem first, as the beginning of my joy.
⁷ Who made the great lights, God's love endures forever;	⁷ O Lord, call to mind the sons of Edom, in the day of Jerusalem, who say: “Despoil it, despoil it, even to its foundation.”
⁸ The sun to rule the day, God's love endures forever;	⁸ O daughter of Babylon, have pity. Blessed is he who will repay you with your payment, which you have paid to us.
⁹ The moon and stars to rule the night, God's love endures forever;	⁹ Blessed is he who will take hold of your little ones and dash them against the rock.
¹⁰ Who struck down the firstborn of Egypt, God's love endures forever;
¹¹ And led Israel from their midst, God's love endures forever;
¹² With mighty hand and outstretched arm, God's love endures forever;

¹⁴ And led Israel through, God's love endures forever;
¹⁵ But swept Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea, God's love endures forever;
¹⁶ Who led the people through the desert, God's love endures forever;
¹⁷ Who struck down great kings, God's love endures forever;
¹⁸ Slew powerful kings, God's love endures forever;
¹⁹ Sihon, king of the Amorites, God's love endures forever;
²⁰ Og, king of Bashan, God's love endures forever;
²¹ And made their lands a heritage, God's love endures forever;
²² A heritage for Israel, God's servant, God's love endures forever.
²³ The LORD remembered us in our misery, God's love endures forever;
²⁴ Freed us from our foes, God's love endures forever;
²⁵ And gives food to all flesh, God's love endures forever.
²⁶ Praise the God of heaven, God's love endures forever.
