1. By the rivers of Babylon we sat down;there we wept when we remembered Zion.
2. On the willows near bywe hung up our harps.
3. Those who captured us told us to sing;they told us to entertain them:“Sing us a song about Zion.”
4. How can we sing a song to the Lordin a foreign land?
5. May I never be able to play the harp againif I forget you, Jerusalem!
