"english": "עַל The following song recounts how the Jewish Nation was driven into exile in Babylon after the First Temple's destruction: By Babylon's rivers we sat, and we wept as we recalled the ruined city of Zion (Jerusalem). Our harps, used for music in the Temple, we hung on willow trees in Babylon lest our foes should see them. We acted thus since those who held us captive, Nebuchadnezzar and his men, called on us for songs for them there; those who taunted us bade us play joyful music. They demanded, \"Sing for us the songs of Jerusalem, those you sang in the Temple.\" Yet we said inwardly: How can we sing the songs composed for the Lord, on land that is unholy and strange? Each of us vowed: Should I forget Jerusalem's city, may my right hand forget how to move. As none forgets the use of his hand, so the Jewish Nation will never forget Jerusalem. Should I fail to remember you, Jerusalem, may my tongue cling to my mouth's roof, so that I shall be unable to eat anything. Let that likewise befall me if I do not set Jerusalem in my thoughts at the very height of my happiness.",

God, may You act thus so as to let people on earth know Your ways and know that You show grace to those who trust in You, and that all nations may know that You save the Jewish Nation. When the nations behold that You reward those who trust in You, God, they will extol You. Every nation will extol You. Peoples will rejoice and sing in gladness, for they will see that You judge peoples justly and that You will aid and lead every nation on earth forever. Peoples will extol You, God, when they behold Your grace toward all. Every nation will extol You—for the earth has yielded its produce, and for every blessing that You, God, our God, shall bless us. God shall bless us by reason of our trust in Him. All nations—even those in the remotest corners of the earth—will fear Him. They will see that only those who fear God are blessed.",
