Context
Psalm 137
137:1 By the rivers of Babylon we sit down and weep when we remember Zion .
137:2 On the poplars in her midst we hang our harps ,
137:3 for there our captors ask us to compose songs ; those who mock us demand that we be happy , saying: “Sing for us a song about Zion !”
137:4 How can we sing a song to the Lord in a foreign land ?
137:5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem , may my right hand be crippled !
137:6 May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth , if I do not remember you, and do not give Jerusalem priority over whatever gives me the most joy .
137:7 Remember , O Lord , what the Edomites did on the day Jerusalem fell. They said , “Tear it down , tear it down , right to its very foundation !”
