The images are only intended to provide resonances with some aspects of the psalm; they are not intended as a one-to-one correspondences. They are more like visual cross-references.
Some interpret the imprecation of verse 9 to include the possibility that being dashed against the Rock might involve salvation alongside the possibility of total destruction.

PSALM 137 C.M.
1 By Babel’s streams we sat and wept,
when Zion we thought on.
2 In midst thereof we hanged our harps
the willow-trees upon.
3 For there a song requirèd they,
who did us captive bring:
Our spoilers called for mirth, and said,
A song of Zion sing.
4 O how the LORD’s song shall we sing
within a foreign land?
5 If thee, Jerus’lem, I forget,
skill part from my right hand.
6 My tongue to my mouth’s roof let cleave,
if I do thee forget,
Jerusalem, and thee above
my chief joy do not set.
7 Remember Edom’s children, LORD,
who in Jerus’lem’s day,
Ev’n unto its foundätion,
Raze, raze it quite, did say.
8 O daughter thou of Babylon,
near to destrüction;
Bless’d shall he be that thee rewards,
as thou to us hast done.
9 Yea, happy surely shall he be
thy tender little ones
Who shall lay hold upon, and them
shall dash against the stones.
