La crise mondiale du déplacement s'est aggravée, avec plus de 100 millions de personnes déracinées par les conflits et les persécutions, comme le rapporte le HCR. Cet article examine le Psaume 137, une complainte biblique reflétant l'angoisse des Israélites exilés à Babylone, et explore sa pertinence pour les expériences de déplacement contemporaines. La description vivante du chagrin et de la nostalgie du psaume résonne avec les difficultés rencontrées par les réfugiés modernes, tels que ceux d'Ukraine et du Myanmar. En analysant la structure et les thèmes du psaume, l'article met en évidence son double rôle : dénoncer l'injustice et offrir de l'espoir. Une perspective vincentienne est appliquée, soulignant la nécessité d'une action compatissante et d'un plaidoyer pour les personnes déplacées. La discussion souligne l'importance de l'empathie, de la solidarité et d'un soutien proactif pour relever les défis actuels des déplacements de population dans le monde.
