“Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don’t remember you,if I don’t prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy.”
Psalm 137:6 (WEB)
Context Reading
4How can we sing Yahweh’s song in a foreign land? 5If I forget you, Jerusalem,let my right hand forget its skill. 6Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don’t remember you,if I don’t prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy. 7Remember, Yahweh, against the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem,who said, “Raze it!Raze it even to its foundation!” 8Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction,he will be happy who repays you,as you have done to us.
