Psalm 137

Commentary

Psalm 137 is a poignant reminder of the pain of displacement and the yearning for a sense of belonging. The psalmist's words capture the deep heartache that comes with forced migration and the sense of loss that accompanies it. The psalm also exposes the difficulty of holding onto faith and hope in the face of unimaginable suffering. However, the psalmist's plea for God's intervention in the midst of their pain resonates with us today. It reminds us that, no matter how trying our circumstances may be, we can always turn to God and seek comfort in His presence.
