Psalms 137:4-9

4 Oh, how could we ever sing God's song in this wasteland?

4 How can we sing the songs of the LORD while in a foreign land?

5 If I ever forget you, Jerusalem, let my fingers wither and fall off like leaves.

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

6 Let my tongue swell and turn black if I fail to remember you, If I fail, O dear Jerusalem, to honor you as my greatest.

6 May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy.

7 God, remember those Edomites, and remember the ruin of Jerusalem, That day they yelled out, "Wreck it, smash it to bits!"

7 Remember, LORD, what the Edomites did on the day Jerusalem fell. “Tear it down,” they cried, “tear it down to its foundations!”

8 And you, Babylonians - ravagers! A reward to whoever gets back at you for all you've done to us;

8 Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is the one who repays you according to what you have done to us.

9 Yes, a reward to the one who grabs your babies and smashes their heads on the rocks!

9 Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.
