Psalm 137:3-5
New Century Version

3 Those who captured us asked us to sing;
    our enemies wanted happy songs.
    They said, “Sing us a song about Jerusalem!”

4 But we cannot sing songs about the Lord
    while we are in this foreign country!
5 Jerusalem, if I forget you,
    let my right hand lose its skill.

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.
