Psalm 137:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 [a]If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget to play.
6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth: yea, if I prefer not Jerusalem to my [b]chief joy.
7 Remember the children of [c]Edom, O Lord, in the [d]day of Jerusalem, which said, Raze it, raze it to the foundation thereof.
