Psalms 137:5-9

Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

5If I forget you, Jerusalem,
May my right hand forget its skill.
6May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
If I do not remember you,
If I do not exalt Jerusalem
Above my chief joy.
7Remember, Lord, against the sons of Edom
The day of Jerusalem,
Those who said, “Lay it bare, lay it bare
To its foundation!”
8Daughter of Babylon, you devastated one,
Blessed will be one who repays you
With the retribution with which you have repaid us.
9Blessed will be one who seizes and dashes your children
Against the rock.
