Psalms 137:5
If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
137:5. To sing Zion’s songs for the pleasure of Zion’s foes would be to forget the Holy City. Each Jew declares for himself that he will not do this; for the pronoun alters from “we” to I. Individually the captives pledge themselves to fidelity to Jerusalem, and each one asserts that he had sooner forget the art which drew music from his harp-strings than use it for Babel’s delight.
