W5 2013-07-26 (詩篇136-137)
137:1 我們曾在巴比倫的河邊坐下，一追想錫安就哭了。
137:2 我們把琴掛在那裡的柳樹上；
137:3 因為在那裡，擄掠我們的要我們唱歌，搶奪我們的要我們作樂，說：給我們唱一首錫安歌吧！
137:4 我們怎能在外邦唱耶和華的歌呢？
137:5 耶路撒冷啊，我若忘記你，情願我的右手忘記技巧！
137:6 我若不記念你，若不看耶路撒冷過於我所最喜樂的，情願我的舌頭貼於上膛！
137:7 耶路撒冷遭難的日子，以東人說：拆毀！拆毀！直拆到根基！耶和華啊，求你記念這仇！
137:8 將要被滅的巴比倫城啊（城：原文是女子），報復你像你待我們的，那人便為有福！
137:9 拿你的嬰孩摔在磐石上的，那人便為有福！
詩人(姓名不詳)想起被擄巴比倫的時候，在外邦人的強迫下，不得不不彈琴唱歌。在那種處境下，詩人必須忍受恥辱與滿心的心酸。以往敬拜的歌曲都是對著上帝唱的，如今卻被強迫來取悅外邦人，詩人的心中滿是悲哀。詩人無處發洩，只好向上帝訴苦。詩人向上帝(以耶路撒冷為代表)訴說，若忘記耶路撒冷，情願忘記右手的技巧。無論如何，詩人在悲慘的情境中，沒有忘記上帝是他們的主。
親愛的弟兄姐妹，我們今日的生活，有些人也常常活在不得不低頭，可能是面對一個血汗的工廠，可能是不講理的主官，也可能是當兵面對不合理的對待，或是挑剔的公婆。將我們的苦情帶到上帝面前，祂是聽人憤怒、哀傷心境的上帝。求神幫助我們，在困難的處境中，仍然得以仰望上帝。
