1 By the rivers of Babel we sat, and there we
wept, when we remembered Zion.
2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the
midst thereof.
3 Then they that led us captive, required of us
songs and mirth, when we had hanged up our harps,
saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
4 How shall we sing, said we, a song of the Lord
in a strange land?
5 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 chief joy.
7 Remember the children of Edom, O Lord, in
the day of Jerusalem, which said, Raze it, raze it to
the foundation thereof.
8 O daughter of Babel, worthy to be destroyed,
blessed shall he be that rewardeth thee, as thou hast
served us.(a)
9 Blessed shall he be that taketh and dasheth thy
children against the stones.
Editor’s thought - When we begin to take God out of our lives, or forsake His plans for us, so that each of us tries to do “ his own thing”, we suffer the consequences of our actions. Reading the above and knowing of God’s various warnings to His children to not forsake his ways, we see how these choices made by us are not good for us.
