By the rivers of Babylon
there we sat down and there we wept
when we remembered Zion.
For there our captors
asked us for songs,
and our tormentors asked for mirth, saying,
"Sing us one of the songs of Zion!"
-- Psalm 137:1, 3
Theme: Song of the exiles
Outline
1-3 -- In exile we were weeping instead of singing.
4-6 -- How could we sing -- and forget Jerusalem?
7-9 -- Lord, bring vengeance upon Edom and Babylon.
