Psalms 137:9
Blessed is he who seizes your infants
What it says
Blessed is the one who seizes Babylon's little ones and dashes them against the rocks.
What it is doing
This verse closes the psalm with the unsoftened extremity of retributive vengeance.
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
