1. By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down and weptwhen we remembered Zion.
2. We hung our harpsupon the poplars.
3. For there our captors made us singand our tormentors made us entertain,saying, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion.”
4. How shall we sing the song of the Lordin a foreign land?
5. If I forget you, O Jerusalem,let my right hand forget its skill.
