Psalm 137:5-7
Evangelical Heritage Version
5 If I forget you, Jerusalem,
may my right hand forget how to play music.[a]
6 May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth
if I do not remember you,
if I do not exalt Jerusalem above my highest joy.
Zeal for God’s Vengeance
7 Remember the day of Jerusalem, O Lord,
against the descendants of Edom[b] who said,
“Tear it down, tear it down to its foundations!”
