Psalm 137:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 Then they that led us captive, [a]required of us songs and mirth, when we had hanged up our harps, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
4 How shall we sing, said we, a song of the Lord in a strange land?
5 [b]If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget to play.
