Psalm 137:5-7

Revised Standard Version

⁵If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
    let my right hand wither!
⁶Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth,
    if I do not remember you,
if I do not set Jerusalem
    above my highest joy!

⁷Remember, O Lord, against the E′domites
the day of Jerusalem,
how they said, “Raze it, raze it!
Down to its foundations!”
