Psalm 137

Psalm 137:1-4; ASV

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

2 Upon the willows in the midst thereof we hanged up our harps.

3 For there they that led us captive required of us songs, and they that wasted us (required of us) mirth, (saying), sing us one of the songs of Zion.

4 How shall we sing Jehovah's song in a foreign land?











Babylon was not their home.  This world is not our home.  Like them, we are sojourners and pilgrims longing for our home.
