Apostrophe to Zion
I will remember thee for blessing O Zion;
with all my might have I loved thee.
May thy memory be blessed for ever!
Great is thy hope, O Zion;
that peace and thy longed-for salvation will come.
Generation after generation will dwell in thee
and generations of saints will be thy splendor:
