Psalm 137 & 138

A lot of people are shocked to read Psalm 137:9. How can a verse like that be in the Bible? Well, just because it's in the Bible doesn't mean it's right. You have to remember that the psalms are poems and songs that capture the feelings and emotions of the person writing them at the time. And at the time, this writer was so depressed and angry that he wished the unthinkable for his enemies. What he felt and wished for was most definitely wrong. But it's still recorded in God's word. God can handle our out-of-control emotions, our sinful and sorrowful thoughts. He even allows them and waits patiently until we come to our senses and find our way back to Him.
