Psalm 137:1-3
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

Psalm 137

Lament over the Destruction of Jerusalem

1 By the rivers of Babylon—
    there we sat down, and there we wept
    when we remembered Zion.(A)
2 On the willows[a] there
    we hung up our harps.
3 For there our captors
    asked us for songs,
and our tormentors asked for mirth, saying,
    “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”(B)
