Hymnal: The Psalms of David #CXXXVII (1767) Lyrics: 1 When we, our wearied Limbs to rest,
Sat down by proud Euphrates Stream,
We wept, with doleful Thoughts oppress'd,
And Sion was our mournful Theme;
Our Harps, that when with Joy we sung,
Were wont their tuneful Parts to bear,
With silent Strings neglected hung,
On Willow-Tress that wither'd there.
2 Mean while our Foes, who all conspir'd
To triumph in our slavish Wrongs,
Music and Mirth of us requir'd,
"Come, sing us one of Sion's Songs."
How shall we tun our Voice to sing?
Or touch our Harps with skilful Hands?
Shall Hymns of Joy to GOD our King,
Be sung by Slaves in foreign Lands?
3 O Salem, our once happy Seat!
When I of thee forgetful prove,
Let then my trembling Hand forget,
The speaking Strings with Art to move.
If I to mention thee forbear,
Eternal Silence seize my Tongue.
Or if I sing one chearful Aire,
'Till thy Deliv'rance is my Song.
4 Remember, LORD, how Edom's Race,
In thy own City's fatal Day,
Cry'd out, "Her stately Wills deface,
"And with the Ground quite level lay."
Proud Babel's Daughter, doom'd to be
Of Grief and Woe the wretched Prey,
Bless'd is the Man, who shall to thee,
The Wrongs thou laid'st on us, repay.
5 Thrice bless'd, who with just Rage possess'd,
And deaf to all the Parents Moans,
Shall snatch thy Infants from the Breast,
And dash their Heads against the Stones.

Nahum Tate
1652 - 1715 Person Name: Nahum Tate, 1652-1715 Author of "When we, our wearied [weary] limbs to rest" in Musica Sacra; or Springfield and Utica Collections United Nahum Tate was born in Dublin and graduated from Trinity College, Dublin, B.A. 1672. He lacked great talent but wrote much for the stage, adapting other men's work, really successful only in a version of King Lear. Although he collaborated with Dryden on several occasions, he was never fully in step with the intellectual life of his times, and spent most of his life in a futile pursuit of popular favor. Nonetheless, he was appointed poet laureate in 1692 and royal historiographer in 1702. He is now known only for the New Version of the Psalms of David, 1696, which he produced in collaboration with Nicholas Brady. Poverty stricken throughout much of his life, he died in the Mint at Southwark, where he had taken refuge from his creditors, on August 12, 1715.
