詩篇 137

1 當我們坐在巴比倫河畔，一起想熙雍即淚流滿面。

When we sat down by the rivers of Babylon we wept as we remembered Zion.

2 在那地的楊柳間，掛起我們的琴絃。

We hung up our harps on the willow trees.

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 those who had taken us captive asked us for a song—our tormentors wanted us to sing a happy song from Jerusalem.

4 但我們身處外鄉異域，怎能謳唱上主的歌曲？

But how could we sing a song dedicated to the Lord in a pagan land?

5 耶路撒冷！我如果將您忘掉，願我的右手枯焦！

If I forget Jerusalem, may my right hand forget how to play;

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！

May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don't remember you—if I don't consider Jerusalem my greatest 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，

Lord, please remember what the people of Edom did on the day Jerusalem fell, the ones who said “Tear it down! Destroy it down to its foundations!”

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。

Daughter of Babylon, you will be destroyed! Happy is the one who pays you back, who does to you what you did to us!

9 誰若抓起您的嬰兒幼子，摔在盤石上，他就得福祺。

Happy is the one who grabs your children and smashes them against the rocks!
