It is Psalm 137 that is most prominently featured, specifically its first four verses. This section focuses on how the Israelites felt and what they experienced being in exile "by the rivers of Babylon". Or stated otherwise, they were captured by the Babylonians, who carried them away to their country. In 1970, they take Psalm 137 and turn it into a gorgeously slinky song, "Rivers of Babylon", interpolating a verse from another Old Testament Psalm, 19 ("Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart…"). The closing bars offer the singer a chance to emphasise the song's message: "Sing a song of freedom, brother!" "Rivers of Babylon" is a Rastafari song written and recorded by Brent Dowe and Trevor McNaughton of the Jamaican reggae group The Melodians in 1970. The lyrics are adapted from the texts of Psalms 19 and 137 in the Hebrew Bible.
