Psalms 137:4-9

⁴How can we sing Yahweh’s song in a foreign land?

⁵If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill.

⁶Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don’t remember you, if I don’t prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy.

⁷Remember, Yahweh, against the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem, who said, “Raze it! Raze it even to its foundation!”

⁸Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, he will be happy who repays you, as you have done to us.

⁹Happy shall he be, who takes and dashes your little ones against the rock.
