Psalms - 137:2 Meaning

ADS-1

“We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.”

King James Version (KJV)

ADS-2

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

137:1-4 Their enemies had carried the Jews captive from their own land. To complete their woes, they insulted over them; they required of them mirth and a song. This was very barbarous; also profane, for no songs would serve but the songs of Zion. Scoffers are not to be compiled with. They do not say, How shall we sing, when we are so much in sorrow? but, It is the Lord's song, therefore we dare not sing it among idolaters.

ADS-3

“And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.”
