Ž 137, 1-9

1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. 2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. 3 "For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us delight, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. " 4 How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land? 5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. 6 "If I do not remember you, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. " 7 "Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Demolish it, demolish it, even to the foundation thereof. " 8 "O daughter of Babylon, who are to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewards you as you have served us. " 9 Happy shall he be, that takes and dashes your little ones against the stones.

Z 137 - Pretože sa v žalme hovorí o babylonskom zajatí ako o minulosti, a z druhej strany sa veľmi živo opisuje postavenie deportovaných, autori sú zajedno v domnienke, že vznikol v prvých rokoch po návrate z babylonského zajatia.

Z 137,1 - Izraeliti bývali niekde pri kanáloch, ktoré spájali Eufrat a Tigris. Aj prorok Ezechiel mal svoje videnie pri rieke Chobar, čo bol pravdepodobne tiež kanál niektorej z dvoch spomenutých riek (Ez 1,1).

Z 137,5-6 - Spievať radostné piesne v cudzej krajine značilo by toľko, ako zabudnúť na svoju vlasť, na Jeruzalem.

Z 137,7-9 - Jeruzalem nebol všetkým odvlečeným len vlasťou, hlavným mestom krajiny, znamenal pre nich čosi viac. Jeruzalem bol aj Pánovým sídlom, bolo to sväté mesto, Božie mesto.

Z 137,7 - Keď Chaldejci dobyli Jeruzalem (587), Edomčania im pomáhali plieniť a vraždiť jeho obyvateľov (Ez 35,10.12.15; Abd 1,10-16; Jer 49,7-22).

Z 137,8-9 - Babylon volá "Babylonskou dcérou", pomenovanie bežné v SZ (Iz 47,1). O vraždení nevinných detí po dobytých mestách často čítame vo Svätom písme (2 Kr 8,12; Oz 10; Nah 3,10). Tieto ukrutnosti pre babylonských obyvateľov predpovedal Izaiáš 13,16-18; 14,21; Jeremiáš 25,12.
