Psalms 137:6-9 New English Translation (NET)

6. May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth,if I do not remember you,and do not give Jerusalem priorityover whatever gives me the most joy.

7. Remember, O Lord, what the Edomites didon the day Jerusalem fell.They said, “Tear it down, tear it down,right to its very foundation!”

8. O daughter Babylon, soon to be devastated!How blessed will be the one who repays youfor what you dished out to us!

9. How blessed will be the one who grabs your babiesand smashes them on a rock!
