Psalms 137:3-9

3 Those who captured us told us to sing; they told us to entertain them: "Sing us a song about Zion."
4 How can we sing a song to the Lord in a foreign land?
5 May I never be able to play the harp again if I forget you, Jerusalem!
6 May I never be able to sing again if I do not remember you, if I do not think of you as my greatest joy!
7 Remember, Lord, what the Edomites did the day Jerusalem was captured. Remember how they kept saying, "Tear it down to the ground!"
8 Babylon, you will be destroyed. 1 Happy are those who pay you back for what you have done to us -
9 who take your babies and smash them against a rock.
