Psalms 137

By Babylon's waters, the exiles of Judah sit weeping, remembering Zion, hanging their lyres on willows as captors mockingly demand songs of Zion; they vow self-curse if they forget Jerusalem.[1][2][3] They call on YHWH to remember Edom's betrayal and pronounce doom on Babylon's daughter, blessing those who repay her violence, even dashing her infants against rocks.[1][2][3][5]
