Study the Bible in Basic English : Psalm for the day #137

Psalms 137 1. By the rivers of Babylon we were seated, weeping at the memory of Zion, 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? 5. If I keep not your memory, O Jerusalem, let not my right hand keep the memory of its art. ; AB Lausanne church
