Psalm 137:7-9
International Standard Version
7 Remember the day of Jerusalem’s fall,[a] Lord,
because of[b] the Edomites,
who kept saying, “Tear it down!
Tear it right down to its foundations!”
8 Daughter of Babylon! You devastator!
How blessed will be the one who pays you back
for what you have done to us.
9 How blessed will be the one who seizes your young children
and pulverizes them against the cliff!
