By the waters of Babylon,
there we sat down and wept,
when we remembered Zion.
On the willows there
we hung up our lyres.
For there our captors
required of us songs,
and our tormentors, mirth, saying,
“Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”
How shall we sing the Lord’s song
in a foreign land?
–Psalm 137:1-4
Two very different musical renditions of this psalm:
Don McLean

(I was at one of the concerts where he did this. In an echoing concert hall it was very eery sounding.)
The Melodians (Reggae)
