Psalms 137:1-5

By the rivers
<05104>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

there we sat down
<03427> (8804)_,

yea, we wept
<01058> (8804)_,

when we remembered
<02142> (8800)

Zion
<06726>_.

We hanged
<08518> (8804)

our harps
<03658>

upon the willows
<06155>

in the midst
<08432>

thereof.

For there they that carried us away captive
<07617> (8802)

required
<07592> (8804)

of us a song
<01697> <07892>_;

and they that wasted
<08437>

us [required of us] mirth
<08057>_,

[saying], Sing
<07891> (8798)

us [one] of the songs
<07892>

of Zion
<06726>_.

{a song: Heb. the words of a song} {wasted...: Heb. laid us on heaps}

How shall we sing
<07891> (8799)

the LORD'S
<03068>

song
<07892>

in a strange
<05236>

land
<0127>_?

{strange...: Heb. land of a stranger?}

If I forget
<07911> (8799)

thee, O Jerusalem
<03389>_,

let my right hand
<03225>

forget
<07911> (8799)

[her cunning].
