Under chains, arrested you left them Sion behind
In a deep afliction made your priests hardly cry
It was like to die only shame and pain
His strong people walked sorry along the way
Oh! Jerusalem your praise was not heard anymore

To the living God who led
You far and ashore
Cry Israel! Raise your heart and soul
Maybe your God reminds you are the
Little worm Jacob!

Cry Israel! Babylon is not your home at all
Cry out to the lord!
He will answer thee
From the enemies
He'll make you free
