Psalm 137:1-3
International Standard Version

Remembering Jerusalem

137 There we sat down and cried—
    by the rivers of Babylon—
        as we remembered Zion.
2 On the willows there
    we hung our harps,
3 for it was there that our captors
    asked us for songs
and our torturers demanded joy from us,
    “Sing us one of the songs about Zion!”
