Psalm 137:1-3

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

Psalm 137

Lament over the Destruction of Jerusalem

¹By the rivers of Babylon—
    there we sat down and there we wept
    when we remembered Zion.
²On the willows^[a] there
    we hung up our harps.
³For there our captors
    asked us for songs,
and our tormentors asked for mirth, saying,
    ‘Sing us one of the songs of Zion!’
