Thematic Bible: The jews in exile


Thematic Bible



By the waters of Babylon we sat down; and wept, when we remembered Zion. We hanged our harps upon the salon-trees, in the midst of it.

For they that led us away captive required of us then a song, and melody in our heaviness. "Sing us one of the songs of Zion!" How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my righthand forget her cunning. If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, yea, if I prefer not Jerusalem in my mirth.
