TMB

NIV

1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down; yea, we wept when we remembered Zion.
1 By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion.
2 We hung our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
2 There on the poplars we hung our harps,
3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song, and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion!"
3 for there our captors asked us for songs, our tormentors demanded songs of joy; they said, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”
4 How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?
4 How can we sing the songs of the LORD while in a foreign land?
5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cleverness.
5 If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill.
6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
6 May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy.
