Psalm 137 - Friday

Psalm 137

1 By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept
when we remembered Zion.

2 There on the poplars
we hung our harps,

3 for there our captors asked us for songs,
our tormentors demanded songs of joy;
they said, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion!"

4 How can we sing the songs of the LORD
while in a foreign land?

5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
may my right hand forget its skill .

6 May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
if I do not remember you,
if I do not consider Jerusalem
my highest joy.

7 Remember, O LORD, what the Edomites did
on the day Jerusalem fell.
"Tear it down," they cried,
"tear it down to its foundations!"

8 O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction,
happy is he who repays you
for what you have done to us-

9 he who seizes your infants
and dashes them against the rocks.

Chinling : This psalm is sad. I thank the Lord for rescuing me, for everlasting joy. I must always remember Jesus as my highest joy.

Eunice: There is none like you Jesus... So wonderful. Indeed, you are my beautiful saviour. Lord I thank you that I am in a land where there are no natural disasters. With so many happening around us, i cant help but think how blessed i am. Yet we are here, worrying about so many things everyday. Lord, all creation bows to worship you. Indeed, you are my beautiful saviour!

Crow: How can we sing songs of the Lord when we are being forced to do so? Lord, help me to remember you at all times
