Psalms 137:5 in Context — Psalms 137

3 Y los que allí nos habían llevado cautivos nos pedían que cantásemos, y los que nos habían desolado [nos pedían] alegría, [diciendo]:

4 Cantadnos algunos de los himnos de Sión. ¿Cómo cantaremos canción de Jehová en tierra de extraños?

5 Si me olvidare de ti, oh Jerusalem, mi diestra sea olvidada.

6 Mi lengua se pegue á mi paladar, si de ti no me acordare; si no ensalzare á Jerusalem como preferente asunto de mi alegría.

7 Acuérdate, oh Jehová, de los hijos de Edom en el día de Jerusalem; quienes decían: Arrasadla, arrasadla hasta los cimientos.
