Verse:
By the rivers of GBabylon
Where he sat down
And there he Dwent
When he remembered GZion
Over the wicked carry us away captivity
CRequired from us this Gsong
How can we sing King Alfa's song in a Dstrange Gland
So let the words of our Dmouth and the mediGtation of our Dheart
Be acGceptable in thy Dsight
Over I G
