“for there our captors requested a song; our tormentors demanded songs of joy: “Sing us a song of Zion.”
Psalm 137:3 (BSB)
Context Reading
1By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion. 2There on the willows we hung our harps, 3for there our captors requested a song; our tormentors demanded songs of joy: “Sing us a song of Zion.” 4How can we sing a song of the LORD in a foreign land? 5If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand cease to function.
