we sat and wept
when we remembered Zion.

There on the poplars
we hung our harps,
we sat and wept

5. 3
for there our captors asked us
for songs,
our tormentors demanded
songs of joy;
they said, “Sing us one of
the songs of Zion!”

How can we sing the songs of
the Lord
while in a foreign land?
How can we sing

If I forget you, Jerusalem,
may my right hand forget its skill.

May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
if I do not remember you,
if I do not consider Jerusalem
my highest joy.

‘the end of our rope’
but God will accomplish
“all His good pleasure” as Isaiah says

before the “gods”

May all the kings of the earth praise you, Lord,
when they hear what you have decreed.

May all the kings of the earth praise you

16. But it isn’t might that
God is all about
in fact the most high ruler, God,
dwells with the humble

though lofty, he sees them from afar.
7
Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
you preserve my life.

Though the Lord is exalted,
he looks kindly on the lowly;
Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
you preserve my life.

an individual
which could represent Christ
and all God will do through Him
but we are in Christ and
it can apply to an individual person
in Christ

20. For thus says the One who is high
and lifted up, who inhabits
eternity, whose name is Holy:
“I dwell in the high and holy place,
and also with him who is of a
contrite and lowly spirit, to revive
the spirit of the lowly, and to
revive the heart of the contrite.
Isaiah 57:15
