Psalms 137:1-6

Hebrew Names Version HNV

1 By the rivers of Bavel, there we sat down. Yes, we wept, when we remembered Tziyon.

2 On the willows in the midst of it, We hung up our harps.

3 For there, those who led us captive asked us for songs. Those who tormented us demanded songs of joy: "Sing us one of the songs of Tziyon!"

4 How can we sing the LORD's song in a foreign land?

5 If I forget you, Yerushalayim, Let my right hand forget its skill.

6 Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth, If I don't remember you; If I don't prefer Yerushalayim above my chief joy.

New International Version NIV

1 By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion.

2 There on the poplars we hung our harps,

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 can we sing the songs of the LORD while in a foreign land?

5 If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill.

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.
