詩篇 137

1 當我們坐在巴比倫河畔，一起想熙雍即淚流滿面。

Upon the rivers of Babylon, there we sat and wept: when we remembered Sion:

2 在那地的楊柳間，掛起我們的琴絃。

On the willows in the midst thereof we hung up our instruments.

3 因那些俘虜我們的，要我們唱歌，那些迫害我們的，還要我們奏樂：快些來給我們唱一支熙雍的歌!

For there they that led us into captivity required of us the words of songs. And they that carried us away, said: Sing ye to us a hymn of the songs of Sion.

4 但我們身處外鄉異域，怎能謳唱上主的歌曲？

How shall we sing the song of the Lord in a strange land?

5 耶路撒冷！我如果將您忘掉，願我的右手枯焦！

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand be forgotten.

6 我若不懷念您，不以耶路撒冷為喜樂，就寧願我的舌頭緊緊貼在我的上顎！

Let my tongue cleave to my jaws, if I do not remember thee: If I make not Jerusalem the beginning of my joy.

7 上主，求您記住厄東的子民，在耶路撒冷蒙難的時辰，他們曾喊叫說：拆毀，拆毀！夷為平地，一直見到基礎，

Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom, in the day of Jerusalem: Who say: Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.

8 您只知破壞的巴比倫女子！誰若依照您加給我們的災痍，也焄樣報復於您，他就得福祺。

O daughter of Babylon, miserable: blessed shall he be who shall repay thee thy payment which thou hast paid us.

9 誰若抓起您的嬰兒幼子，摔在盤石上，他就得福祺。

Blessed be he that shall take and dash thy little ones against the rock.
