The Psalmist shared in Psalm 137:1-7 how they wept in captivity and how their tormentors demanded from them songs of joy.
Psalms 137:1-7
[1]By the rivers of Babylon we sat down; there we wept when we remembered Zion.
[2]On the willows near by we hung up our harps.
[3]Those who captured us told us to sing; they told us to entertain them: “Sing us a song about Zion.”
[4]How can we sing a song to the Lord in a foreign land?
[5]May I never be able to play the harp again if I forget you, Jerusalem!
[6]May I never be able to sing again if I do not remember you, if I do not think of you as my greatest joy!
[7]Remember, Lord, what the Edomites did the day Jerusalem was captured. Remember how they kept saying, “Tear it down to the ground!”
