Psalm 137

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Psalm 137

1By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept
when we remembered Zion.
2There on the willows
we hung our harps,
3for there our captors requested a song;
our tormentors demanded songs of joy:
“Sing us a song of Zion.”
4How can we sing a song of the LORD
in a foreign land?
5If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
may my right hand cease to function.
6May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
if I do not remember you,
if I do not exalt Jerusalem
as my greatest joy!
7Remember, O LORD,
the sons of Edom on the day Jerusalem fell:
“Destroy it,” they said,
“tear it down to its foundations!”
8O Daughter of Babylon,
doomed to destruction,
blessed is he who repays you
as you have done to us.
9Blessed is he who seizes your infants
and dashes them against the rocks.
— Psalm 137

Can we ever really go home again? As much as we would like to go home again, we must remember that home is not a place until we are home with God.
