Psalms 137:5-9 ▼

5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, May my right hand forget her skill.

6 May 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.

7 Remember, O Yahweh, against the sons of Edom The day of Jerusalem, Who said, “Tear it down! Tear it down To its very foundation.”

8 O daughter of Babylon, you devastated one, How blessed will be the one who repays you With the recompense with which you have recompensed us.

9 How blessed will be the one who seizes and dashes your infants Against the cliff.
