Psalm 137 - The Mournful Song of the Exiles

- Psalm 137 is a mournful song of the Jewish exiles, remembering prior glories and the present distress.
Because this psalm is a remembrance of Babylon, many commentators believe it was written after the return from exile. It may also have been written many years into the exile.
Join us as Pastor David Guzik walks us through this sad psalm!

Today is April 8, 2024 and I woke up and knew I had to read Psalm 137. Now I know why! Thank you for explaining it!
Our church is reading every Psalm, one per day, and started Jan.1, 2023. The only exception was we broke down Psalm 119 to their individual "songs." We are now at this one, 137, and it is the second one that has made me cry profusely. David, you are such a servant of God with the amazing and sheer number of commentaries you have done over the years. I lift you up in prayer every day in gratitude for how your gift of explaining the Scriptures and using so many exhaustive commentaries along with the Scriptures themselves, to assure us of your reliability and talent given by God. I love how you point to Jesus in every one of these Psalms and your prayers are always a blessing. Thank you will never be enough but my joy someday will be complete in Heaven and I will rejoice to spend eternity with such a soldier of God's Word. Dot -74 in Aug -🙏NE of Boston, MA
Remember the teachings
And stop reaching for easy solutions
Pollution for the mind
There is no easy way out
There is no need to seek and find
Keep it simple and be devout
Praise the Lord
Thank you... another great, detailed verse by verse guide to a psalm.
You're very welcome, thank you for your kind words and support. God be with you!
Thank you Pastor Guzik. I feel bad as I haven't been able to be interested in playing my accordion or even smiling much since my 34 year old daughter died four years ago. She was backslidden and it is very hard to think of her not being in Heaven. I have asked the Lord to show me a vision or a dream of her in Heaven but so far He hasn't granted that. from June from Ireland

As a mother who just lost her only male son just barely 3 months ago I too feel so sad....not because of him backsliding but because of my own. The same question I have...will I see him again? And I remember his last words. "Mom please tell the people we are not dead." He repeated it 3 times the second time asking me a question like for reassurance"Right ma, we are not dead?" And my heart broke because I began to realize my son was dying. After we buried him I mediated on his words. He had wanted to be baptized when he was 12 but I didn't think he was ready as it was his school that was doing a week of prayer and studies. I told his teacher that he was free to do so when he was of age. (Which never came) So his last words were like a wake up call from God to me. We cannot judge who will be saved or not. That is for Yehovah himself. My son was far more a better child of God than I was. And because of that I have renewed my trust in God. Seeking him earnestly. Getting to really know him. I am not worthy but only thru Yeshuas blood will I be able to stand before him.
So you see, if my son isn't there to meet me wouldn't/shouldn't that sin be upon my head? It is I who has to do all and be steadfast in clinging to Yehovah. May our Lord come soon! May his will be done
My son's last words reminded me of the Bible verse: For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son so that whoever beleiveth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. "Tell the people we are not dead." It was later that I realized he didn't say "I" but "We". Those who have died believing in Yeshua/Jesus? ..... That is what I understand it to mean. I finally understand the more important state to not be in is spiritual death. How much more frightening it is to be alive but dead spiritually without any hope all because we choose to be so.
Praise the Lord pastor David.🙏
Thank you David for your sharing the word of God is a great blessing to me, always read your bible commentary Enduring words it is easy to understand with simple words. May God bless you and your family I am from meghalaya northeast India.
Blessings on you in Jesus' name!
Like Paul we should say we know how to abound and how to abase
Sing in all circumstances
Give thanks in all things
Amen!
Thanks brother! Appreciate your hard work
You are so welcome!
Thank you!
I cried
Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!
Like us they knew to say they had no song to sing in Babylon
But the truth is they were not singing in Caanan
They knew only to murmur complain and walk in disobedience
I think Babylon is portrayed as the wicked one and his children. By the death of Jesus and raising he has smitten the wicked and his.The believers shall be raised.
I am a sinner
We all are
