This is an old song but for me it is still fresh. I loved this song that is why I played it again and again from TH-cam. How marvelous are your works O God the Father. Glory be to God in the highest!!!!!
That what I was thought when I heard this song last week on polish weeding... I was pretty sure that beginning of this song is one of the Psalm from Holy Bible which red long time ago 😊 thank you for confirming this 😊😊😊 I wish to hear this song once I die and relocate to heaven 😊
2024. My father, no religious bone in his body, used to play this song. For some reason he loved it. I heard it playing often and wondered about its meaning. I found out. Glory to God. Jehovah.
I was 12 years old when this song came out... I had no idea what the song was about then, but I remember dancing to this song with my mom and her joyfully crying as we did so... You see... shortly after I was born I was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, and given a life expectancy of between 16 and 22... So for all intents and purposes, I grew up as "the dying kid"... Then at the age of 12 I was in Childrens Hospital getting a battery of tests that confirmed I actually did NOT have Cystic Fibrosis. It was not until later in life when this song came on my moms playlist one day that my mom told me the story of this song, and what it meant TO HER... She said that on the way home from that hospital visit where they found out I was 'going to to live' that this song came on the radio and it became her favorite song... and she wanted to dance and cry at the same time... I never knew at the time when we were dancing to it what significance the song had to her, nor why she would always cry and dance with me every time it came on... Anyway.. I just thought I would share this story. Neither my mom nor I are religious people, but it still holds a special meaning for us... she passed away earlier this year and when I heard this song for the first time in ages, it reminded me of how much I miss her and I had to go find the sing on youtube, play it again and dance around and cry...
It bears special significance to us as a black race. As we celebrate Black History month. May we as a people unite and remember where we came and unite. We are indeed a liberated people. Guidance from the Yahweh, Jehoviah, The Most High God The Father.
there's like a magic in this song that it hits so different. Then I found out that this song is a part of history where Israelites were once captive in a foreign land and were deprived from their worship. Just something I love listening but hits you to the core imagining the pains that the Israelites have experienced.
The real Israelites NEVER called themselves "jewish". That title belongs to those usurpers that occupy Jerusalem now. The real Israelites are all still scattered across the world, but a lot of us are waken up and remembering our heritage!
@@DJthe2nd Ever wonder why it's called the Babylonian Talmud? I hate to break it to you, but the descendants of David lived on as the Jewish people. I for instance can trace my lineage back to King David, like many other Jews. "On the rivers of Babylon, there we sat, we also cried as we remembered Zion. On the willows, in the midst, we hung our harps, for there our captors demanded of us to sing and jeered at us, "sing for us the songs of Zion." How can we sing the Lord's song on alien soil" If I forget Jerusalem, I shall lose my right hand; my lounge shall cleave to its palate if I do not remember, if I don't put Jerusalem at the top of my thought. Remember God the sons of Edom, who said, "completely destroy until its foundation". Daughters of Babylon, happy are those who retribute for what you have done for us. Happy are those who take your young ones and smash them against the rock."
@@DJthe2ndIsraelites called themselves Hebrews or Judahs. Jewish is English name. They are the most original ancient and lawful owners of Israel. This land was given to them by God. Palestinians and Muslims in general arrived there way way later. Islam is the youngest religion of all. 😅
When I was younger I didn’t know any English so they play this song at parties and everybody was dancing like a disco song, until a couple of years ago someone told me it was a psalm I feel really bad not knowing that before 😢

As a 45-year-old war veteran, I’ve lost every relationship and failed at everything. One day, I was crying in bed and prayed to God. I told Him I had nothing to offer but my broken heart. He spoke to me, saying, “It’s okay to fall apart, I’ve got you.” Then He said, “I’ve got amazing things in store for you, just trust me.” 3 weeks later Seeing my life turn around for the good and God using Teresa Janette Brock, who changed my life. After reading about her, I found her website and reached out. Her kindness led me to a business venture I never imagined I’d enjoy. Her guidance gave me a new sense of purpose and community. Now, I feel more fulfilled and happier than ever. This song and Teresa’s influence have been true blessings in my life.!
There are songs of the age of this one, beautiful and meaning but I always feel like this has an special touch of something I can't explain. Now I know why and it is because there's inspired by Psalms, also God's words. 🙏
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against what you wrote. But wait a sec. Notice the MUSIC of this song, as opposed to what nowdays is considered music (made by computers and simple speach instead of singing). I remember this song since I was 4 -5 years old and mom used to listen to other singers she liked (Doris Day, Lisa Minelli ecc) and ..them Boney M. What a coincidence that I like another Bonnie, but Raitt.
This song is very touchjng,especially to the Jews who was exile to Babylon,i feel their longing to God and in Zion the place they could praise and worship God.

For anyone who is curious, it’s referencing the story about the ‘Babylonian captivity of the Hebrew’s’… What has always appealed to me is you don’t need to believe in anything to enjoy it!! Absolutely AMAZING music🙂🏳️🌈
Fun Fact About This Song In Philippines: In Philippines, drunkards loves this song alot. They also dance it! Even they didn't know the lyrics. When i was young, i always hear this song to Birthday parties . I always ignore it, And now in this month when i turned 9! 🎉 In, yesterday i hear this song. And i saw the lyrics! And. I saw "Song Of Lord" So i started to search it and. Boom! It was a Bible verse. And i was so happy to hear this song.❤
I recommend that you research a little about the history of this city and the mythology (especially the Enuma Elish). Mesopotamia as a whole is also so fascinating that I can't stop studying it
I heard this song for the first time last week. I was down in El Salvador on a mission trip, one of the English teaching schools put on a performance in English to show their progress. It was great!
Dzisiaj szukając czegoś w internecie, by przejrzeć coś bądź posłuchać pojawił mi się właśnie ten utwór. On kojarzy mi się z moim ślubem który, brałam w 29 lipca 1978 roku był wtedy bardzo modny i nam się bardzo podobał!!Tańczyliśmy i bawiliśmy się przy tej melodii!! 29 marca czyli za 2 dni miną 2 miesiące od śmierci mojego męża słuchając płakałam bo wiem, że ta piosenka to kolejny znak od niego❤Jest ich wiele i to też nie przypadek, to kolejne moje łzy po jego śmierci ❤️
Although I am not follower of English song ,I heared this first time about almost 30-35years before but still couldn't forget this melodious pray song..great creation
Aaah... Babylon, the modern system of this world, taking captive the people of God, making them slaves, walking on their backs, mocking them, teasing them to sing for God, but how will they sing the Lord's song in a strange land? And so by the rivers of Babylon, they sat down and wept, when they remembered Zion.
I'm always blessed with this song❤ Our Lunch hour service Sermon was about *Lord Song in a Strange Land*. I was waiting service to end to hear this song again 😂😂
Bonney M super good songs. I was 10 living in Romania when I heard not only Bonney M songs but also ABBA songs. Never gets old. My children also grew up listening by to the songs❣️

[9] Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.
I remember hearing this song as a child. It was decades before I even picked up a Bible to read it... Until I opened up the Scriptures, it never dawned on me what it was about... I just knew I like the song... Once I opened the Scriptures and really started to seek the face of YeHoVaH... It was only then that I realized what it was about and how artfully crafted and divinely inspired it truly was...
I used to listen to the 45 record with my father. After a mass when my father passed away, as my family was walking out of the church, this song was playing at a building that belonged to the church (that song playing was not arranged by my family, it was a coincidence). It was a beautiful moment though. In 2016 my husband and I were expecting our 2nd child a son, I felt that our son would be born on the 10th anniversary of my fathers death. I was afraid of that happening because I haven't mourned over my father's death. He asked us not to mourn him, not to be sad, not to cry over him and asked that his ashes be scattered in the sea. My contractions started on a Monday morning (5am), by 7pm I knew I wasn't giving birth on that date. I prayed the Lords Prayers and was asking G-d to allow me to speak to my father (dad), I asked, "father if it is your will that my son be born on the anniversary of your death, please give me the strength to get through the birth. I did not want to lose myself emotionally and mourn him while giving birth to my son. At 2am Tuesday the anesthesiologist injected me with the epidural and left. The epidural didn't work, and so he returned completely baffled because all the other injections he had giving to the expecting mothers all had worked. And I didn't want to get another injection although my contractions were just minutes apart and painful. I remained calm, breathing, and my husband was terribly sick but wearing a mask (I wore one too as a precaution). By 8am I pressed the call button and asked the nurse to please take the baby out. I was completely exhausted and hadn't slept. I had 7 nurses in the room and when they placed our son on my chest I began to cry. The nursed asked Ana why are you crying, you did so good? And I told her today is the 10th anniversary of my father's death. She looked at the white board and pointed at the baby name then asked, if that your dad's name? And I replied that it was, then they all got teary eyed and my husband was crying and so I felt bad for making him cry and so I stopped. I ended up getting a fever (Influenza from my husband) and our son was taken away. My father in law took care of our son while we recovered from the Influenza. Our son did not catch it! On the 8th day we decided to have our son circumcised and I gave him the middle name Eli. The nickname my father called me. That was the last thing my father said to me, "Eli", when I held his hand the last time I saw him. It wasn't until 2018 that I learned the name of our Heavenly Father YeHoVaH. I had a divine appointment here in this town, in the mountains where I learned the Name. I had stayed one night in this town in June 2002 but I couldn't remember the name of it. In 2015 we purchased our home here and it wasn't until June 23, 2017 after searching for our lost chihuahua that while driving around I told my husband STOP, I have stayed at this train motel in 2002! In 2018 a JW knocked on my door and we became good friends, she told me, "don't take my word, search it out for yourself', so I did just that. I learned the Creator's Name Haya, Hoveh, Yihiyeh (He was, He is, He will be) YeHoVaH. We have been Torah Observant since 2019. Shalom Alichem
It is based on PSALM 137, by David Hamelech (King David). It is said before Prayers after eating a meal (with Bread) by the Children of Israel on weekdays (not Sabbath or Festivals, and special "Mitzvah" occasions...circumcision, etc). Prophetically King David was shown a vision by G-d of the destruction of both temples, in case you wonder HOW COULD KING DAVID write about being "shlepped" to Babylon, when that event didn't happen in his lifetime.

You all know that this amazing song originates from the Psalms and it describes the Israeli tribes who cried when they were driven out of Zion (known as Israel 🇮🇱)
@@expiredmilk763 the term “israel” has been used to describe both the land and the people for thousands of years. the name “israel” originally comes from jacob. his descendants-the twelve tribes-were known as the israelites. they eventually formed the kingdom of israel in the land that also came to be called israel in modern days. you’re quite literally embarrassing yourself, there is no sense in what you wrote.
This is extremely a religious songs but some worldly people dance it not right take for the lyrics this is actually a sad song for the Israelites during their captivity in Babylon and weep more for their beloved land

2 There on the poplars
we hung our harps,
3 for there our captors asked us for songs,
our tormentors demanded songs of joy;
they said, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”
4 How can we sing the songs of the Lord
while in a foreign land?
5 If I forget you, Jerusalem,
may my right hand forget its skill.
6 May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
if I do not remember you,
if I do not consider Jerusalem
my highest joy.
7 Remember, Lord, what the Edomites did
on the day Jerusalem fell.
“Tear it down,” they cried,
“tear it down to its foundations!”
8 Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction,
happy is the one who repays you
according to what you have done to us.

For anyone who is curious, it’s referencing the story about the ‘Babylonian captivity of the Hebrew’s’…
What has always appealed to me is you don’t need to believe in anything to enjoy it!! Absolutely AMAZING music🙂🏳️🌈
The Almighty God will bless all the true believers of His Kingdom.
Amen

I heard this song in 'I dreamed of Africa' movie. This song touched my heart. I don't know why the word 'Babylon' attracts me always!
I recommend that you research a little about the history of this city and the mythology (especially the Enuma Elish). Mesopotamia as a whole is also so fascinating that I can't stop studying it
I heard this song for the first time last week. I was down in El Salvador on a mission trip, one of the English teaching schools put on a performance in English to show their progress. It was great!
Dzisiaj szukając czegoś w internecie, by przejrzeć coś bądź posłuchać pojawił mi się właśnie ten utwór. On kojarzy mi się z moim ślubem który, brałam w 29 lipca 1978 roku był wtedy bardzo modny i nam się bardzo podobał!!Tańczyliśmy i bawiliśmy się przy tej melodii!! 29 marca czyli za 2 dni miną 2 miesiące od śmierci mojego męża słuchając płakałam bo wiem, że ta piosenka to kolejny znak od niego❤Jest ich wiele i to też nie przypadek, to kolejne moje łzy po jego śmierci ❤️
"Acceptable in thy sight" beautiful words ❤❤❤ ✝️ xxxx
Psalm 19:14
Year by year we all are getting older😢😢.. but this song never gets old
And it has always been like that
Consider that Psalm 137 upon which this song is based is over 2,500 years old! Yet the words still resonate with us to his very day.
Although I am not follower of English song ,I heared this first time about almost 30-35years before but still couldn't forget this melodious pray song..great creation
Aaah... Babylon, the modern system of this world, taking captive the people of God, making them slaves, walking on their backs, mocking them, teasing them to sing for God, but how will they sing the Lord's song in a strange land?
And so by the rivers of Babylon, they sat down and wept, when they remembered Zion.
this song never gets old. because is the word of god.
And because it's kind of timeless music
Very true
God
Absolutely love this song I listen to it all morning before I go to work ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
Hipnotizant de frumos. Bravo de mii de ori !!!!!!!
I am so thankful who shared this song. I just remembering my childhood days.. we played LP record of Bony M on stereo and we used to dance at home
Me too!!!!!! In Kazakhstan 😮 where I'm from... I had their cassette 😂 loved it and still do!!!
I ve watched at tiktok,thats why I'm here
yes the word of Mighty God will never perish, psalm 137
I'm always blessed with this song❤
Our Lunch hour service Sermon was about *Lord Song in a Strange Land*.
I was waiting service to end to hear this song again 😂😂
I don't care about others, I love this song
I didn’t know this song is a Christian song until I listened to a message from Evan. Keisena Esiri mehnnn… Thus says the Lord never fails ooo
It's Jewish, not Christian.
it’s not christian. psalm 137 is jewish in origin, written in ancient times as an expression of jewish longing for zion during the babylonian exile.
It's a song when you are in a state of sin and you want to go back to God's embrace.
Amazing prayer song ❤crying while listening. It get me every time
why ?
I love it too. Very touching when you know the story.
Eu também choro quando ouço
Always and every year I could listen to this song
Bonney M super good songs. I was 10 living in Romania when I heard not only Bonney M songs but also ABBA songs. Never gets old. My children also grew up listening by to the songs❣️
I heard this song in the 1970s..I was a teenager then.
It was my dad's favorite song who left this world... I miss him so much now that I listen to the song again T.T
Psalm 137 : 1 By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept
when we remembered Zion.
One of the greatest song i've ever heard since i was young
WORD OF GOD IS FRESH EVERY MORNING ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Psalms 137:1-9 NIV
[1] By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion. [2] There on the poplars we hung our harps, [3] for there our captors asked us for songs, our tormentors demanded songs of joy; they said, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!” [4] How can we sing the songs of the Lord while in a foreign land? [5] If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill. [6] May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy. [7] Remember, Lord, what the Edomites did on the day Jerusalem fell. “Tear it down,” they cried, “tear it down to its foundations!” [8] Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is the one who repays you according to what you have done to us. [9] Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.
Let us spread the word of God thru our mouth.🙏❤️🙏
AMEN
Amen
What a melody.... unbelievable......this is music in the purest form....
I remember hearing this song as a child. It was decades before I even picked up a Bible to read it...
Until I opened up the Scriptures, it never dawned on me what it was about...
I just knew I like the song...
Once I opened the Scriptures and really started to seek the face of YeHoVaH...
It was only then that I realized what it was about and how artfully crafted and divinely inspired it truly was...
I used to listen to the 45 record with my father. After a mass when my father passed away, as my family was walking out of the church, this song was playing at a building that belonged to the church (that song playing was not arranged by my family, it was a coincidence). It was a beautiful moment though. In 2016 my husband and I were expecting our 2nd child a son, I felt that our son would be born on the 10th anniversary of my fathers death. I was afraid of that happening because I haven't mourned over my father's death. He asked us not to mourn him, not to be sad, not to cry over him and asked that his ashes be scattered in the sea. My contractions started on a Monday morning (5am), by 7pm I knew I wasn't giving birth on that date. I prayed the Lords Prayers and was asking G-d to allow me to speak to my father (dad), I asked, "father if it is your will that my son be born on the anniversary of your death, please give me the strength to get through the birth. I did not want to lose myself emotionally and mourn him while giving birth to my son. At 2am Tuesday the anesthesiologist injected me with the epidural and left. The epidural didn't work, and so he returned completely baffled because all the other injections he had giving to the expecting mothers all had worked. And I didn't want to get another injection although my contractions were just minutes apart and painful. I remained calm, breathing, and my husband was terribly sick but wearing a mask (I wore one too as a precaution). By 8am I pressed the call button and asked the nurse to please take the baby out. I was completely exhausted and hadn't slept. I had 7 nurses in the room and when they placed our son on my chest I began to cry. The nursed asked Ana why are you crying, you did so good? And I told her today is the 10th anniversary of my father's death. She looked at the white board and pointed at the baby name then asked, if that your dad's name? And I replied that it was, then they all got teary eyed and my husband was crying and so I felt bad for making him cry and so I stopped. I ended up getting a fever (Influenza from my husband) and our son was taken away. My father in law took care of our son while we recovered from the Influenza. Our son did not catch it! On the 8th day we decided to have our son circumcised and I gave him the middle name Eli. The nickname my father called me. That was the last thing my father said to me, "Eli", when I held his hand the last time I saw him. It wasn't until 2018 that I learned the name of our Heavenly Father YeHoVaH. I had a divine appointment here in this town, in the mountains where I learned the Name. I had stayed one night in this town in June 2002 but I couldn't remember the name of it. In 2015 we purchased our home here and it wasn't until June 23, 2017 after searching for our lost chihuahua that while driving around I told my husband STOP, I have stayed at this train motel in 2002! In 2018 a JW knocked on my door and we became good friends, she told me, "don't take my word, search it out for yourself', so I did just that. I learned the Creator's Name Haya, Hoveh, Yihiyeh (He was, He is, He will be) YeHoVaH. We have been Torah Observant since 2019. Shalom Alichem
Hahahahhhhhh

Its really a beautiful song. Thank you so much for sharing this video. More power. GOD bless.
Heard this song for the first time at Teatron in Bogota, Colombia last year. One of the highlights of my trip oh my goodness
It is based on PSALM 137, by David Hamelech (King David). It is said before Prayers after eating a meal (with Bread) by the Children of Israel on weekdays (not Sabbath or Festivals, and special "Mitzvah" occasions...circumcision, etc). Prophetically King David was shown a vision by G-d of the destruction of both temples, in case you wonder HOW COULD KING DAVID write about being "shlepped" to Babylon, when that event didn't happen in his lifetime.
I find this song really relaxing and calming! ❤
Me too ❤

Que tiene ésta canción que al escucharla por primera vez la amas asi como amas a Dios 😭🥺
Psalm 19:14
King James Version
14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.
Letra traducida al Español
Junto a los ríos de Babilonia, allí nos sentábamos
Sí, lloramos cuando recordábamos a Sión.
Junto a los ríos de Babilonia, allí nos sentábamos
Sí, lloramos cuando recordábamos a Sión.
Allí los malvados
Nos llevaron en cautiverio
Y nos pedían que cantásemos una canción.
Está bien, pero ¿cómo cantaremos el cántico del Señor en tierra extraña?
Allí los malvados
Nos llevaron en cautiverio
Pidiéndonos una canción
Pero ¿cómo cantaremos el cántico del Señor en tierra extraña?
Sí, sí, sí, sí, sí.
Deja que las palabras de nuestra boca y la meditación de nuestro corazón
Sea aceptable ante Tus ojos santos aquí esta noche
Que las palabras de nuestra boca y la meditación de nuestro corazón
Sea aceptable ante Tus ojos santos aquí esta noche
Junto a los ríos de Babilonia, allí nos sentábamos
a llorar cuando recordábamos a Sión.
Junto a los ríos de Babilonia, allí nos sentábamos
a llorar cuando recordábamos a Sión.
Por los ríos de Babilonia (lágrimas oscuras de Babilonia)
Allí nos sentábamos (tienes que cantarnos una canción)
Sí, llorábamos (canta una canción de amor)
Cuando recordábamos a Sión (sí, sí, sí, sí, sí)
Por los ríos de Babilonia (piedrecillas ásperas de Babilonia)
Ahí nos sentábamos (se oye llorar a la gente)
Sí, llorábamos (necesitan a su Dios)
Cuando recordamos a Sión (oh, recibe el poder)
Junto a los ríos de Babilonia (oh sí, sí), allí nos sentábamos (sí, sí)
Best song keep it up ♥️♥️🤗🤗🥰

I love this song I always hear the music before sleeping
You all know that this amazing song originates from the Psalms and it describes the Israeli tribes who cried when they were driven out of Zion (known as Israel 🇮🇱)
You mean Jewish tribes
There was no such a thing called as “Israel” except that it was used to describe prophet Jacob.
@@expiredmilk763 the term “israel” has been used to describe both the land and the people for thousands of years. the name “israel” originally comes from jacob. his descendants-the twelve tribes-were known as the israelites. they eventually formed the kingdom of israel in the land that also came to be called israel in modern days. you’re quite literally embarrassing yourself, there is no sense in what you wrote.
What a Great song
Great memories with my Nan in 77/78
This is extremely a religious songs but some worldly people dance it not right take for the lyrics this is actually a sad song for the Israelites during their captivity in Babylon and weep more for their beloved land
I'm In Indonesia, Boney M Album is My Favorite Songs.
Yo tenia 13 años cuanto escuché por primera vez esa canción, ahora voy a cumplir 58, que recuerdos tan bellos.... Saludos a todos desde Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas; México, Continente Americano, planeta tierra 😅
This song was written by David but it will be heard by many people then people will be the children of God! Love God who created you ! Glory to God?Say Amen!
My brother did his last day in Police College on this song. He passed away last year tomorrow 14th. Life is like broken glass with big muddy raindrops
Mon c'est auprès de vous et les prières auprès de votre frere❤
