Psalms 137:4
How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strange land?
137:4. How shall they sing at all? Sing Jehovah’s song among the uncircumcised? With one voice they refuse, but the refusal is humbly worded by being put in the form of a question. If the men of Babylon were wicked enough to suggest the defiling of holy things for the gratification of curiosity, or for the creation of amusement, the men of Zion had not so hardened their hearts as to be willing to please them at such a fearful cost. There are many things which the ungodly could do, and think nothing of the doing thereof, which the gracious cannot venture upon. The question “How can I?” or How shall we? comes of a tender conscience and an inability to sin which is greatly to be cultivated.
