Psalm 137:3-5
Common English Bible

3     because that’s where our captors asked us to sing;
    our tormentors requested songs of joy:
    “Sing us a song about Zion!” they said.
4 But how could we possibly sing
    the Lord’s song on foreign soil?

5 Jerusalem! If I forget you,
    let my strong hand wither!

    while in a foreign land?
5 If I forget you,(E) Jerusalem,
    may my right hand forget its skill.
