1. Beside the rivers of Babylonwe thought about Jerusalem,and we sat down and cried.
2. We hung our small harpson the willow trees.
3. Our enemies had brought us hereas their prisoners,and now they wanted us to singand entertain them.They insulted us and shouted,“Sing about Zion!”
4. Here in a foreign land,how can we singabout the Lord?
5. Jerusalem, if I forget you,let my right hand go limp.
