Psalm 137 – “By the Rivers of Babylon” | A Song of Longing in Exile

📃 Description:

Psalm 137 is one of the most emotional psalms—written during Israel’s exile in Babylon. It captures the deep sorrow of God’s people as they sat by the rivers of Babylon, weeping and longing for Jerusalem.

When their captors asked them to sing songs of joy, they couldn’t—because their hearts were broken. Yet even in exile, they refused to forget Zion.

This psalm reminds us of the power of memory, identity, and faith even in the darkest times. It’s a cry of grief, a refusal to let go of God’s promises, and a longing for restoration.
