Psalms 137:3-6

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].

If I do not remember
<02142> (8799)

thee, let my tongue
<03956>

cleave
<01692> (8799)

to the roof of my mouth
<02441>_;

if I prefer
<05927> (8686)

not Jerusalem
<03389>

above my chief
<07218>

joy
<08057>_.

{my chief...: Heb. the head of my joy}
