Psalms 137:6

⁶ו תדבק-לשוני לחכי-- אם-לא אזכרכי אם-לא אעלה את-ירושלם-- על ראש שמחתי

Psalm 137 is one of the most raw and unsettling songs in the Psalter. Set by the rivers of Babylon, it captures the grief of exiled Israelites who cannot sing the Lord's song in a foreign land. The psalm moves from aching memory (v. 1-4) to fierce loyalty (v. 5-6) to a shocking cry
