Psalms 137
A heartbreaking lament of the exiles during the Babylonian captivity. The people recall sitting by the rivers of Babylon, weeping as they remembered Zion. Their captors demanded they sing one of the joyous songs of Zion. The people refuse, asking, "How shall we sing the Lord’s song in a foreign land?" They vow to never forget Jerusalem. The Psalm concludes with a fierce, terrible imprecatory curse against the Babylonians, praying that their children will be dashed against the stones.
