Psalm 137:5-7
EasyEnglish Bible

5 Jerusalem, I never want to forget you.
    I would rather lose my right hand!
6     I would rather my tongue could no longer move![a]
Yes, I will always remember you, Jerusalem.
You are the most important thing that I think about,
    more than anything else that makes me happy.

7 Lord, remember to punish the people of Edom.[b]
They were happy when Babylon's army won against Jerusalem.
On that day the Edomites said,
    ‘Knock down the city so that nothing still stands!’
