Psalms 137:7
Remember, O LORD,
What it says
The LORD is asked to remember the Edomites, who cried for Jerusalem to be torn down on the day it fell.
What it is doing
This verse turns from oath to appeal for remembered betrayal.
In context
1By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept 2There on the willows 3for there our captors requested a song; 4How can we sing a song of the LORD 5If I forget you, O Jerusalem, 6May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth 7Remember, O LORD, 8O Daughter of Babylon, 9Blessed is he who seizes your infants
