Psalm 137:3

Lament During The Babylonian Exile

² Hanging our instruments of music on the trees by the waterside. ³ For there those who had taken us prisoners made request for a song; and those who had taken away all we had gave us orders to be glad, saying, Give us one of the songs of Zion. ⁴ How may we give the Lord's song in a strange land?
