Psalms 137:1-4

Sorrow and Silence in Babylonian Exile

Psalms 137:1-4
1
By the rivers of Bavel we sat down and wept as we remembered Tziyon.
2
We had hung up our lyres on the willows that were there,
3
when those who had taken us captive asked us to sing them a song; our tormentors demanded joy from us -"Sing us one of the songs from Tziyon!"
4
How can we sing a song about ADONAI here on foreign soil?
