Psalm 137

I think that this is the saddest psalm in the Biblical collection. Though there is a hope of a future restoration of Jerusalem there can be no songs of joy for God's people when this psalm was written.  Those who took them captive desired to hear the songs of God's people. While the Jewish exiles hung up their harps and refused to sing believers today need to strike up the band and sing our hearts out. That is the example of Paul and Silas from the prison cell (Acts 16:25) and that is the example of worship we need to display. Sing like you are imprisioned for the Lord. For any captive that we face can only limit our bodies; not God's message of hope that is alive within us.
It took me just over 1 minute to read this psalm.
