Psalms Anthems Spiritual Songs for the Assemblies of Yahweh ‎#57

57. By the Waters of Babylon

1 By the waters of Babylon, There we wept and there sat down;
Hung our harps on the willow trees,
Zion, yet we remembered thee.
Then our captors required of us:
"Sing a song of Zion now!"
How could we sing Yahweh's songs
By the waters of Babylon.

2 Let my right hand forget her skill,
If Jerusalem I forget;
If I do not remember thee,
Far above my chief joy to set.
O thou daughter of Babylon,
To thy ruin hast'ning on;
Happy he that rewardeth thee
Just as thou to us hast done.
