Psalm 137:1-6 BBE
1
By the rivers of Babylon we were seated, weeping at the memory of Zion,
2
Hanging our instruments of music on the trees by the waterside.
3
For there those who had taken us prisoners made request for a song; and those who had taken away all we had gave us orders to be glad, saying, Give us one of the songs of Zion.
4
How may we give the Lord's song in a strange land?
5
If I keep not your memory, O Jerusalem, let not my right hand keep the memory of its art.
6
If I let you go out of my thoughts, and if I do not put Jerusalem before my greatest joy, let my tongue be fixed to the roof of my mouth.
