In Context

1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down; yea, we wept when we remembered Zion.

2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.

3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that made us wail required mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

4 How should we sing a song of Jehovah's upon a foreign soil?

5 If I forget thee, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill;

6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to my palate: if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
