Here is Psalm 137 set to music by Boney M–By the Rivers of Babylon. Captivity was harsh and bitter for Israel; but they’d brought it on themselves, adopting heathen practices and refusing to listen to the prophets. Nothing changes, does it?

Ever since you first played this song, I keep hearing it in my mind — especially when Psalm 137 comes up in our Liturgy of the Hours. I especially like this version with the scenic backgrounds.
Thank Ina for calling it to our attention. She’s one of the world’s Boney M fans.
There is nothing new under the sun. History rhymes. Catchy happy tune for such a downer historical event.
