Psalms 137:2
There on the willows
What it says
There they hang their harps on the willows.
What it is doing
This verse gives exile a visible sign in the silenced instruments.
In context
1By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept 2There on the willows 3for there our captors requested a song; 4How can we sing a song of the LORD 5If I forget you, O Jerusalem, 6May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth 7Remember, O LORD, 8O Daughter of Babylon, 9Blessed is he who seizes your infants
