Psalms 137:1-6

¹By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

²We hung our harps upon the willows in the midst of it.

³For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying , Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

⁴How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a foreign land?

⁵If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her skill .

⁶If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
