by the rivers of babylon...

Psalm 137:1 - By the rivers of Babylon,
there we sat down, yea, we wept,
when we remembered Zion.

Psalm 137:3-4 - For there they that
carried us away captive required of us a song;
and they that wasted us required of us mirth,
saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
How shall we sing the LORD's song
in a strange land?

--

By the rivers of babylon
Where he sat down
And there he went
When he remembered zion.

For the wicked, carry us away
Captivity require from us a song
How can we sing king alphas song in a strange land?

So let the words of our mouth
And the meditations of our hearts
Be acceptable in thy sight
Over i

By the rivers of babylyon
Where he sat down
And there he went
When he remebered zion.

For the wicked, carry us away
Captivity require from us a song
How can we sing king alphas song in a strange land?
