An Experience of the Captivity.
By the arivers of Babylon,There we captives sat down and bwept,When we remembered Zion the city God imprinted on our hearts.Ezek 1:1, 3Neh 1:42 On the awillow trees in the midst of BabylonWe bhung our harps.Lev 23:40; Is 44:4Job 30:31; Is 24:8; Ezek 26:133 For there they who took us captive ademanded of us a song with words,And bour tormentors who made a mockery of us demanded amusement, saying,“Sing us one of the songs of Zion.”Ps 80:6Is 49:17
4 How can we sing athe LORD’S songIn a strange and foreign land?2 Chr 29:27; Neh 12:465 If I aforget you, O Jerusalem,Let my right hand forget her skill with the harp.Is 65:116 Let my atongue cling to the roof of my mouthIf I do not remember you,If I do not bprefer JerusalemAbove my chief joy. Ezek 3:26Job 29:10; Ps 22:15; Ezek 3:26Neh 2:3
