137:7 Remember, O LORD, the children of {f} Edom in the {g} day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase [it], rase [it, even] to the foundation thereof.
(f) As was prophesied in Eze 25:13,Jer 49:7,Ob 1:10, showing that the Edomites who came from Esau, conspired with the Babylonians against their brethren and kinsfolk.
(g) When you visited Jerusalem.
137:7 The day - In the time of its destruction.
137:5-9 What we love, we love to think of. Those that rejoice in God, for his sake make Jerusalem their joy. They stedfastly resolved to keep up this affection. When suffering, we should recollect with godly sorrow our forfeited mercies, and our sins by which we lost them. If temporal advantages ever render a profession, the worst calamity has befallen him. Far be it from us to avenge ourselves; we will leave it to Him who has said, Vengeance is mine. Those that are glad at calamities, especially at the calamities of Jerusalem, shall not go unpunished. We cannot pray for promised success to the church of God without looking to, though we do not utter a prayer for, the ruin of her enemies. But let us call to mind to whose grace and finished salvation alone it is, that we have any hopes of being brought home to the heavenly Jerusalem.
