By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down. Ezk 1:1Ezk 3:15Ezk 1:3Lam 2:10-11Lam 2:18Lam 3:48Ezr 8:21Ezr 8:31
Yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
On the willows in that land, Ezk 26:13Isa 24:8Rev 18:22Amo 8:10Psa 33:2Psa 81:2
we hung up our harps.
For there, those who led us captive asked us for songs. Luk 21:6Lam 2:15-16Mic 3:12Psa 9:141Ch 16:7Isa 35:10Jer 26:18Jer 31:12-13
Those who tormented us demanded songs of joy:
“Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”
How can we sing the LORD’s song in a foreign land? Amo 8:3Isa 22:12Hos 9:4Lam 5:14-15Ecc 3:4Isa 49:21
If I forget you, Jerusalem, Dan 6:10-11Jer 51:50Isa 62:1Psa 122:5-9Psa 84:10Zec 11:17Isa 62:6-7Neh 1:2-4
let my right hand forget its skill.
Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don’t remember you, Ezk 3:26Psa 22:15Isa 41:17Job 29:10Psa 84:10Lam 4:41Th 3:7-9Act 20:24
if I don’t prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy.
Remember, LORD, against the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem, Lam 4:21-22Ezk 25:12-14Jer 49:7-22Oba 1:10-141Sa 15:2Amo 1:11Ezk 35:2Hab 3:13
who said, “Raze it!
Raze it even to its foundation!”
Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, Rev 18:6Isa 14:4-24Jer 25:12-14Isa 21:1Isa 47:1-15Rev 14:8-11Isa 13:1-22Isa 44:28
he will be happy who repays you,
as you have done to us.
Happy shall he be, Isa 13:16Hos 13:16Nam 3:102Ki 8:12Hos 10:14
who takes and dashes your little ones against the rock.
