Psalm 137:5-7
Good News Translation

5 May I never be able to play the harp again
    if I forget you, Jerusalem!
6 May I never be able to sing again
    if I do not remember you,
    if I do not think of you as my greatest joy!

7 Remember, Lord, what the Edomites did
    the day Jerusalem was captured.
Remember how they kept saying,
    “Tear it down to the ground!”
