The Full Text and Interpretation of the Bible Chapter and Verse seemingly referred to on Sam's uniform.

So many people have pointed out in various places that the 0914-137 seemingly refers to a Bible verse. A 14 word verse, numbered 9, from chapter 137. This seems be Psalms 137:9. Many people have pointed out that the text of this verse refers to infants: "Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones." (King James Edition.) But who is the he and who is the thy who the little ones belong to? This verse is the final verse in the chapter in question, so let's look at what this chapter is about. I will refer to the New Revised Edition for better comprehensibility, but it should be noted that the verse in question is 14 words in the King James (the most important English translation of the Bible) but not in the New Revised. Anyway, let's get to it:

"1: By the rivers of Babylon--there we sat down and we wept when we remembered Zion. 2: On the willows there we hung up our harps. 3: For there our captors asked us for songs, and our tormentors asked for mirth, saying 'Sing us one of the songs of Zion!' 4: How could we sing the LORD's song in a foreign land? 5: If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand wither! 6: Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth, if I do not remember you, if I do not set Jerusalem above my highest joy. 7: Remember, O LORD, against the Edomites the day of Jerusalems fall, how they said "Tear it down! Tear it down! Down to its foundations! 8: O daughter Babylon, you devastator! Happy shall they be who pay you back what you have done to us! 9: Happy shall they be who take your little ones and dash them against the rock!"

So here we see the antecedents for the pronouns of the verse: the "They" is whoever will "pay back" the "Daughter Babylon's" children for what they have done. What they have done, of course, is destroyed the Hebrews' home ("tear it to its foundations!") and tormented them by asking them to sing their traditional religious songs as entertainment. This entire chapter is subtitled "Lament over the Destruction of Jerusalem" in the New Revised edition. And this destruction could correspond to the "Second Explosion" which seems to have so thoroughly shaken Death Stranding's world (the crater in the Bridges logo) and the seeming gradual death and general decay happening in the world.

So then, the Hebrews here I think may represent the living people of this world, while I would assume the Babylonians or Edomites would be the Monsters. It has been suggested by some that the babies may be related to the monsters in some way. And I think this is reinforced by the baby in the first trailer disappearing and then immediately Norman begins to see the tiny handprints moving away from him. Perhaps this implies a different relationship between the Babies and the "normal" people in the game than we're assuming.

Of course, there is also the reinforcement of the crying motif that has been present in the trailers "We sat down and there we wept." Here the crying is for the destroyed and idealized holy homeland of the Hebrews.

There is also the strong language where the speaker implies that they should essentially wither away if they were to forget Jerusalem and not put it above their very highest joy. The strong revenge imagery of dashing babies against the rocks reinforces how the memory of Jerusalem should be the absolutely highest priority for the Hebrews as well. Perhaps the carrying of these memories is related to Sam's designation as a "Porter" as well?

I'd love to hear everybody's thoughts on what you think. Alternate interpretations and connections, or what I missed.
