Theological / Devotional

If I forget. To have consented to sing a song of the Temple under these conditions would have seemed to the Israelite like being unfaithful to his beloved city, which he adored with all his heart. Sooner would he forget his most treasured possession than forget Zion, the pride and glory of Israel.
