      Psalm 137 (Listen)

      How Shall We Sing the Lord’s Song?

      137:1   By the waters of Babylon,
          there we sat down and wept,
          when we remembered Zion.
      2   On the willows1 there
          we hung up our lyres.
      3   For there our captors
          required of us songs,
        and our tormentors, mirth, saying,
          “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”
      4   How shall we sing the LORD’s song
          in a foreign land?
      5   If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
          let my right hand forget its skill!
      6   Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth,
          if I do not remember you,
        if I do not set Jerusalem
          above my highest joy!
      7   Remember, O LORD, against the Edomites
          the day of Jerusalem,
        how they said, “Lay it bare, lay it bare,
          down to its foundations!”
      8   O daughter of Babylon, doomed to be destroyed,
          blessed shall he be who repays you
          with what you have done to us!
      9   Blessed shall he be who takes your little ones
          and dashes them against the rock!

      God, kill my enemy!

      God can handle grief, rage, and cries for justice. God can handle the victim who cannot yet forgive. God can handle the prayer that comes out jagged and wounded. The good news is that God is holy and merciful enough to handle all our prayers.
