Verse 8 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.
