Psalm 137:8

Lament During The Babylonian Exile

⁷
Remember, O Lord, against the sons of Edom,
The day of [the fall of] Jerusalem,
Who said “Down, down [with her]
To her very foundation.”
⁸ 
O daughter of Babylon, you devastator,
How blessed will be the one
Who repays you [with destruction] as you have repaid us.
⁹
How blessed will be the one who seizes and dashes your little ones
Against the rock.

Blessed is

Doomed to Destruction

Happy is the Man
