El Lamento de Israel
Sérgio Lopes
The Lament of Israel
When they took you from Zion into captivity
And your priests cried in distress
It was like dying of shame and pain
The strong people of the Lord walked sadly
Oh, Jerusalem, why did you stop worshiping
The living God who helped you in so many battles?
Weep, Israel, raise your voice to Him
Perhaps God will remember the worm of Jacob
Weep, Israel
Babylon is not your place
Cry out to your God, He will listen to you
He will deliver you from the enemy
