Psalms 137:5-6
For joyful songs would imply forgetfulness of their desolated homes and fallen Church. The solemn imprecations on the hand and tongue, if thus forgetful, relate to the cunning or skill in playing, and the power of singing.
6 If I do not remember you,
Let my atongue cling to the roof of my mouth—
If I do not exalt Jerusalem
Above my chief joy.
Let my atongue cling to the roof of my mouth—
If I do not exalt Jerusalem
Above my chief joy.
7 Remember, O Lord, against athe sons of Edom
The day of Jerusalem,
Who said,1 “Raze it, raze it,
To its very foundation!”
The day of Jerusalem,
Who said,1 “Raze it, raze it,
To its very foundation!”
8 O daughter of Babylon, awho are to be destroyed,
Happy the one bwho repays you as you have served us!
Happy the one bwho repays you as you have served us!
