Psalm 137 How Did We Get Here? – A Song from Exile

“By the rivers of Babel, there we sat down, and we wept as we remembered Tsiyon.”
— Psalm 137:1
This is a song for those who no longer feel at home in this world.
We once trusted the system — the news, the medicine, the promises of a better life. But like exiles in a strange land, we now look around and realize how far we’ve drifted. The land feels unfamiliar. Truth is exchanged for lies. And innocence is traded like currency.
This song echoes the lament of Psalm 137 — when the people of Yahuah were torn from Yerushalayim and asked to sing the sacred songs of Tsiyon for their captors.
“We hung our lyres upon the willows...
For there our captors asked us for the words of a song, saying, ‘Sing to us a song of Tsiyon!’”
— Psalm 137:2–3
But how can we sing the song of Yahuah on foreign soil?
How can we offer praise in a system built on deception?
“If I forget you, O Yerushalayim, let my right hand forget.
Let my tongue cleave to my palate, if I do not remember you,
If I do not exalt Yerushalayim above my chief joy.”
— Psalm 137:5–6
This song isn’t about bitterness. It’s about awakening.
It’s about remembering the real hope — the Kingdom of Yahuah.
It’s about refusing to sing along with Babylon when our hearts belong in Tsiyon.

“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness...”
— Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 5:20
“The fear of Yahuah is the beginning of wisdom...”
— Mishlei (Proverbs) 9:10
“If you love Me, keep My commands.”
— Yahuchanan (John) 14:15
“Return to Me, and I shall return to you,” says Yahuah Tseva’oth.
— Malaki (Malachi) 3:7
“Come out of her, My people, lest you share in her sins...”
— Ḥazon (Revelation) 18:4

If you’ve ever wept without knowing why…
If your heart has felt the weight of a world gone wrong…
If you still long for peace, for truth, for something real...
This song is for you.
You're not alone.
