Psalms 137:1-5 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down. Yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

NHEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down. Yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion. ² On the willows in its midst, 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 the LORD's song in a foreign land? ⁵ If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand be forgotten.
