Expanded Bible

2 On the ·poplar [or willow] trees nearby
    we hung our harps.
3 ·Those who captured us [Our captors] asked us to sing;
    our ·enemies [oppressors] wanted happy songs.
They said, “Sing us a song about ·Jerusalem [L Zion; C the location of the Temple]!”

4 But we cannot sing songs about the Lord
    while we are in this foreign ·country [land]!
