Psalm 137:1-9 GNT

[1] By the rivers of Babylon we sat down; there we wept when we remembered Zion. [2] On the willows near by we hung up our harps. [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. 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.
