1By the riuers of Babylon, there wee sate downe, yea we wept: when we remembred Zion. 2Wee hanged our harpes vpon the willowes, in the midst thereof. 3For there they that carried vs away captiue, required of vs a song, and they that wasted vs, required of vs mirth: saying, Sing vs one of the songs of Zion.
