This is poetry by "King" David, the greatest king of Israel
Sounds more like a retarded caveman

oh look its another person reading what NOT to do in the bible and claiming it's what you should do

>Remember, Lord, what the Edomites did on the day Jerusalem fell. “Tear it down,” they cried, “tear it down to its foundations!”
>Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is the one who repays you according to what you have done to us.
>Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.

It’s basically saying what goes around comes around because this is what they did to Jerusalem.

it's literally saying whoever does this to the Babylonians will be blessed

You dug up an obscure translation that renders it that way when most don't.

It's also very much worth noting that when this actually came to pass and Babylon was taken it was by Cyrus, who was famously merciful and there was no authorized cruelty or massacre, judging by the Cyropedia.

Then the Bible was wrong and therefore not divinely-inspired

Psalms are just poems. Poems are poetic, they're not literal.

Typical judeochristian morals
The zionist demon YHWH also orders genocide and enslavement of goyim as well as the mass rape of goyim children

unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.

The simple believe every word,
but the prudent watch their step.

>encourages
Its doing the opposite. Its saying that the babylonians made a mistake in bashing the heads of infants against rocks, and that they have now created a world in wich others will be happy to also bash the heads of babylonian infants against rocks.

You can further see the evolution of this message become more and more clear with the continued teachings of Jesus Christ.
