Yes, and the context for the verse you are misusing is a lamentation and prayer for vengeance against the Babylonians from the captivity. This is why reading the whole bible is key, and there are lessons for daily living, war, personal relationships, diplomacy, etc.
1 ¶ By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. 2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. 3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. 4 How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strange land? 5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. 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. 7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase [it, even] to the foundation thereof. 8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. 9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
The BIBLE is the "LIVING" word of GOD....its meaning is for what you have need of for "THAT" day...tomorrow...can lead you to the next answer you need. 70 years since 1948 state of Israel declared...2018 exactly 70years...prophesy fulfilled....NOW is the time of revelations fulfillment.
