Psalm 137:9

Verse 9 of 9. The 137th of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.

5If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill.

6Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don’t remember you, if I don’t prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy.

7Remember, LORD, against the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem, who said, “Raze it! Raze it even to its foundation!”

8Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, he will be happy who repays you, as you have done to us.

9Happy shall he be, who takes and dashes your little ones against the rock.
