Psalm 137:3-5

Young's Literal Translation

³For there our captors asked us the words of a song, And our spoilers -- joy: `Sing ye to us of a song of Zion.'

⁴How do we sing the song of Jehovah, On the land of a stranger?

⁵If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, my right hand forgetteth!

Psalm 137:3-5

New International Version

³for 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)

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