Psalm 137:3-5
EasyEnglish Bible

3 Our enemies asked us to sing songs for them there.
    They laughed at us as their prisoners.
They asked for a song to make them happy.
    They shouted, ‘Sing us a song about Zion!’
4 But we are in a foreign land,
    so we cannot sing a song to the Lord.
5 Jerusalem, I never want to forget you.
    I would rather lose my right hand!

Psalm 137:3-5
New International Version

3 for there our captors(A) asked us for songs,
    our tormentors demanded(B) songs of joy;
    they said, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”(C)

4 How can we sing the songs of the Lord(D)
    while in a foreign land?
5 If I forget you,(E) Jerusalem,
    may my right hand forget its skill.
