‏ Psalms 137:7

7-9. Remember ... the children of Edom--(Compare Psa 132:1), that is, to punish.

the day of Jerusalem--its downfall (La 4:21, 22; Ob 11-13).

‏ Ezekiel 36:5

5. to cast it out for a prey--that is, to take the land for a prey, its inhabitants being cast out. Or the land is compared to a prey cast forth to wild beasts. Fairbairn needlessly alters the Hebrew pointing and translates, "that they may plunder its pasturage."
