Psalm 137:3-6 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

³for there our captors requested a song;

our tormentors demanded songs of joy:

“Sing us a song of Zion.”

⁴How can we sing a song of the LORD

in a foreign land?

⁵If I forget you, O Jerusalem,

may my right hand cease to function.

⁶May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth

if I do not remember you,

if I do not exalt Jerusalem

as my greatest joy!

— Psalm 137:3-6
