"Rise Up"
Every stone that makes you stumble
And cuts you when you fall
Every serpent here that strikes your heel
To curse you when you crawl
The king of love one day will crush them all
And every sad seduction, and every clever lie
Every word that woos and wounds the pilgrim, children of the sky
The king of love will break them by and by
And you will rise up in the end
You will rise up in the end
I know the night is cruel
But the day is coming soon
When you will rise up in the end
If a thief had come to plunder
When the children were alone
If he ravaged every daughter
And murdered every son
Would not the father see this?
Would not his anger burn?
Would he not repay the tyrant
In the day of his return?
Await, await the day of his return
Cause he will rise up in the end
He will rise up in the end
I know you need a savior
He's patient in his anger
But he will rise up in the end
And when the stars come crashing to the see
When the high and mighty fall down on their knee
We'll see the sun descending in the sky
The chains of death will fall around your feet
And you will rise up in the end
You will rise up in the end
You will rise up in the end
I know you will
—Andrew Peterson
Imprecatory Psalm
James Adams - War Psalms
Are we not to seek for justice for the evil that has been done?
Not justice as we perceive it but as a Sovereign God wills it.
Not a justice initiated by our feelings but a justice as recorded in God’s word
Weeping under the willow
Looking for a place of solace
Imprecatory Psalm
The rivers of Babylon
They lived by the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and enjoyed regular harvests due to a complex system of irrigation canals.
The very tokens of life (“rivers”) and verdancy (“poplars,” v. 2) brought material benefits on captors and captives alike.

Ezekiel
They were dwelling there: We sat down (Daniel and his friends)
Jeremiah 29:
Their meditation brought back memories of home which lead to sorrow and a longing to be home again
They wept because they didn’t belong there (exiles)
They were in no mood to play music
They wept in spite of the green vegetation of the land
Willows possibly poplars
The enemy taunted with requests for them to sing a familiar tune connected to their homeland
Before Jerusalem fell some taught falsely it would not fall
The righteous were included with the fall (Daniel)
They were in no mood to sing the songs of the LORD in a foreign land
The sacredness of the LORD’s song
A.A. Anderson translates this verse: “How can we who are unclean (in that we are punished) sing Yahweh’s praises to an unclean people in an unclean land?”
Loving and Longing for home
They were in no mood to sing the songs of the LORD in a foreign land
The sacredness of the LORD’s song
Their lives were centered around God and Jerusalem
Love for God and Jerusalem are intertwined
May I forget and lose my ability to play
Their joy was based upon their relationship with Jerusalem
May I be unable to sing or speak
Waiting for Justice
A call for the Lord to remember the atrocities of their enemies
Psalm 137
Obadiah
Their hate for their brother Jacob would bring their own destruction
A confidence in the judgement and justice of God
Parallel justice
