Remember, O Lord, against the children ...Ps 137:7-9<br />Remember, O Lord, against the children of Edom, the day of Jerusalem,<br />When they said, "Raise it, raze it down to its foundations!"<br />O daughter of Babylon, you destroyer, happy the man who shall repay you the evil you have done us!<br />Happy the man who shall seize and smash your little ones against the rock!<br /><br />These are very tough words from the Psalms. We know of course that the psalms do contain such 'cursing' verses. We also know that they are not to be taken literally but rather indicate the evil of those who sought/seek to destroy the holy city, those who seek to overthrow the kingdom of God. This isn't an incitement to infanticide. And the Church would never interpret this verse as such.<br /><br />But well done of spotting this.
