Verse 7 is found in chapter 137 of Psalms. Psalm 137 expresses the pain of the exiles in Babylon and the emotional impossibility of singing songs of Zion in a foreign land. Jerusalem remains the center of memory and identity even when the people have been displaced. The final section contains an imprecation connected with the violence suffered during Jerusalem’s fall. It should be read within the genre of lament and imprecation, as the expression of a traumatized people entrusting their desire for justice to God.

HERR, gedenke der Kinder Edom den Tag Jerusalems, die da sagten: "Rein ab, rein ab bis auf ihren Boden!"
Acuérdate, oh Jehová, de los hijos de Edom En el día de Jerusalem; Quienes decían: Arrasadla, arrasadla Hasta los cimientos.
Recuerda, Jehová, contra los hijos de Edom el día de Jerusalén, cuando decían: «¡Arrásenla, arrásenla hasta sus cimientos!».
Eternel, souviens-toi des enfants d'Edom, Qui, dans la journée de Jérusalem, Disaient: Rasez, rasez Jusqu'à ses fondements!
Ricordati, Signore, de’ figliuoli di Edom, I quali, nella giornata di Gerusalemme, Dicevano: Spianate, spianate, Fino a’ fondamenti.
Lembra-te, SENHOR, dos filhos de Edom no dia de Jerusalém, que diziam: Descobri-a, descobri-a até aos seus alicerces.
耶路撒冷 攻破的日子, 以東 人說:「拆毀!拆毀! 直拆到根基!」 耶和華啊,求你記得!
