Dear Jim,
I think you've got it slightly out of context.
Psalms 137:8-9 (NIV)
8 O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction,
happy is he who repays you
for what you have done to us —
9 he who seizes your infants
and dashes them against the rocks.
Psalms 137:8-9 (Amplified)
8 O Daughter of Babylon [you devastator, you!], who [ought to be and]
shall be destroyed, happy and blessed shall he be who requites you
as you have served us. [Isaiah 13; Jeremiah 25:12,13.]
9 Happy and blessed shall he be who takes and dashes your little ones
against the rock!
When wronged by someone, look at the shape of their head and
forgive them. Hate is corrosive for all involved.
Cheers,
