By the rivers of Babylon

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept when weremembered Zion. We hung our harps upon the willows in the midstof it. For there those who carried us away captive required of usa song. And those who plundered us required of us mirth, saying,"Sing us one of the songs of Zion!"How shall we sing the Lord'ssong in a foreign land? If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let myright hand forget her skill! If I do not remember you, let mytongue cleave to the roof of my mouth - if I do not exaltJerusalem above my chief joy.(Psalm 137:1-6)
