Sorrow and Silence in Babylonian Exile
1
By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept, When we remembered Zion.
2
Upon the willows in the midst thereof We hanged up our harps.
3
For there they that led us captive required of us songs, And they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
4
How shall we sing Jehovah’s song In a foreign land?
