Psalm 137:6

Lament During The Babylonian Exile

⁵ If I forget you, Jerusalem,
may my right hand forget its skill.
⁶ May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth
if I do not remember you,
if I do not exalt Jerusalem as my greatest joy! ⁷ Remember, Lord, what the Edomites said
that day at Jerusalem:
“Destroy it! Destroy it
down to its foundations!”
