Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 137:6

6 If I do not remember thee , let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth ▪ if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy .

With affection and sympathy, so as to damp my joys.

Be made uncapable of singing or speaking or [illegible: 1+ letters]oving, as it is in some diseases. Compare Iob 29. 10▪ Psal. 22. 16.

If I do not value and desire Ierusalems prosperity more than all other delights, and consequently if Ierusalems misery doth not so deeply affect me as to hinder my delight in all other things.
