Psalms 137:5 in Context — Psalms 137
3 Là, nos vainqueurs nous demandaient des chants, Et nos oppresseurs de la joie: Chantez-nous quelques-uns des cantiques de Sion!
4 Comment chanterions-nous les cantiques de l’Éternel Sur une terre étrangère?
5 Si je t’oublie, Jérusalem, Que ma droite m’oublie!
6 Que ma langue s’attache à mon palais, Si je ne me souviens de toi, Si je ne fais de Jérusalem Le principal sujet de ma joie!
7 Éternel, souviens-toi des enfants d’Édom, Qui, dans la journée de Jérusalem, Disaient: Rasez, rasez Jusqu’à ses fondements!
