Psalms 137: Lament of the Exiles in Babylon

Jewish exiles weep beside Babylon's rivers and refuse their captors' demand for songs of Zion. The psalmist vows never to forget Jerusalem, asks the LORD to remember Edom's part in the city's fall, and calls for Babylon to be repaid for what it had done.
