Psalms 137:5-9 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

5. If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget.

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

7. Remember, O Yahweh, against the sons of Edom the day of Jerusalem, the ones who said, “Lay it bare! Lay it bare to its foundation!”

8. O daughter of Babylon, about to be devastated, happy shall be he who pays back to you what you paid out to us.

9. Happy shall be he who seizes and smashes your children against the rock.
