Psalm 137:3-5
Authorized (King James) Version

3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song;
and they that wasted us required of us mirth,
saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

4 How shall we sing the Lord’s song in a strange land?
5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem,
let my right hand forget her cunning.
