Psa 137:5 | MHM | STEP | v. 5-6 : Even in Babylon, they never stopped loving Jerusalem. Their thoughts and prayers were always about their holy city, even if some of them had never seen it. They promised to remember Jerusalem, saying, If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill! (Psalm 137:5 ). They put Jerusalem above their greatest joy. If they ever forgot to speak well of Jerusalem, they wished to lose their ability to sing or play. Even when they could not use their songs in Babylon, they kept them in their hearts, trusting that someday they would sing again in their own land.
