A Happy Song

[Zephonith Serpent Woman]

" Psalm 137 : " By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea we wept, when we remembered Zion.
2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song: and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, sing one of the songs of Zion.
4 How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?
5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth: if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
7 Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem: who said, Rase it, rase it even to the foundations thereof.
8 O Daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed: happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
9 HAPPY SHALL HE BE, THAT TAKETH AND DASHETH THY LITTLE ONES AGAINST THE STONES"

It sure takes strange things to make some people happy. I wonder how many little kids and babies have been smashed against walls and rocks over the centuries since this happy song was written?
