Psalms 137:9

Happy (blessed) is the one who takes your little ones
and smashes them against the rock. [Nah. 3:10]
[This verse shows how we can leave all our feelings to God, even the hatred toward those who have hurt us or someone close to us. By speaking these words, we express our pain and leave it to God, knowing that one day he will judge every person fairly, see Rom. 12:16–21.]
