All the thankfulness and songs of praise come to an abrupt end when you arrive at Psalm 137.

Their sin landed them there - and there the joyful songs (like Psalm 136) won't form on their lips.

Psalm 137 is a haunting number.
ReplyDeleteI remember watching a video someone made with a song using the lyrics from it while sitting in Ben Bradley's room about 8 years ago.
I can still hear that song in my head and think of it everytime I come across this Psalm.
The visual in context is powerful.
