Thematic Bible: The jews in exile


Thematic Bible



By rivers of Babylon -- There we did sit, Yea, we wept when we remembered Zion. On willows in its midst we hung our harps.

For there our captors asked us the words of a song, And our spoilers -- joy: 'Sing ye to us of a song of Zion.' How do we sing the song of Jehovah, On the land of a stranger?

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, my right hand forgetteth! My tongue doth cleave to my palate, If I do not remember thee, If I do not exalt Jerusalem above my chief joy.
