Our Father our King,
Be gracious to us and answer us, for we are unworthy
Be charitable and show us loving-kindness and save us.

2. Al na-ha-rot Bavel (2)
Sham ya-shav-nu gam ba-chi-nu
B’zach-ray-nu et Tsi-yon. (2)

By the rivers of Babylon, we sat, we wept
When we remembered Zion.

Weep for Zion and her cities. Mourn for Jerusalem. Weep for the
destruction of our Temple by the enemies of God.

4. Im esh-ka-cheich Y’ru-sha-la-yim

Al rosh sim-cha-ti. )

If I forget you, O Jerusalem
Let my right hand forget its cunning,
Let my tongue cleave to my mouth,
If I remember you not.
If I set not Jerusalem above my chiefest joy.
