Psalms 137:4 in Context — Psalms 137

2 Aux saules de la contrée Nous avions suspendu nos harpes.

3 Là, nos vainqueurs nous demandaient des chants, Et nos oppresseurs de la joie: Chantez-nous quelques-uns des cantiques de Sion!

4 Comment chanterions-nous les cantiques de l’Éternel Sur une terre étrangère?

5 Si je t’oublie, Jérusalem, Que ma droite m’oublie!

6 Que ma langue s’attache à mon palais, Si je ne me souviens de toi, Si je ne fais de Jérusalem Le principal sujet de ma joie!
