Psalms 137:3
for there our captors requested a song;
from By the Rivers of Babylon, Psalms 137:1-9
What it says

Their captors ask them for songs and their tormentors demand joyful music from Zion.

What it is doing

This verse sharpens the humiliation by turning sacred song into a spectacle.

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
