1. By the waters of Babylon,there we sat down and wept,when we remembered Zion.
2. On the willows therewe hung up our lyres.
3. For there our captorsrequired of us songs,and our tormentors, mirth, saying,“Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”
4. How shall we sing the Lord’s songin a foreign land?
5. If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill!
