Psalm 137:1-6 (World English Bible)
View In My Bible
1
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down. Yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
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 Zion!"
4
How can we sing Yahweh's song in a foreign land?
5
If I forget you, Jerusalem, 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 Jerusalem above my chief joy.
