Psalm 137:1–6
1 By the waterso of Babylon, there we sat down and wept,
when we remembered Zion.
2 On the willowsp there
we hung up our lyres.
required of us songs,
and our tormentors, mirth, saying,
“Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”
4 How shall we sing the Lord’s song
in a foreign land?
5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
let my right hand wither!
6 Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth,
if I do not remember you,
if I do not set Jerusalem
above my highest joy!
