Salmene 137,7

EsauJerusalem

5 Hvis jeg glemmer deg, Jerusalem,
Må min høyre hånd miste sin dyktighet.

6 Må min tunge klistre seg til ganen
Hvis jeg ikke husker deg,
Hvis jeg ikke ærer Jerusalem
Over min største glede.

Husk, Herre, mot Edoms sønner
Jerusalems dag,
De som sa: “Riv det ned, riv det ned
Til grunnvollen!”

8 Babels datter, du ødelagte,
Velsignet er den som gjengjelder deg
Med den gjengjeldelsen du har gitt oss.

9 Velsignet er han som griper dine barn
og knuser dem mot klippen.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
