詩篇 137

1 當我們坐在巴比倫河畔，一起想熙雍即淚流滿面。

By the rivers of Babylon, there, we sat down, yea we wept—when we remembered Zion:

2 在那地的楊柳間，掛起我們的琴絃。

Upon the willows—in the midst thereof, hanged we our lyres:

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, our captors asked of us words of song, and our plunderers—gladness, —Sing us of the songs of Zion!

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 Yahweh, on a foreign soil?

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 forget:

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 the roof of my mouth, if I do not remember thee! if I do not lift up Jerusalem above the head of mine own gladness.

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 Yahweh, against the sons of Edom, the day of Jerusalem, —how they continued to say—Overthrow! Overthrow! unto the foundation within it.

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 ruined daughter of Babylon, —how happy the man who shall repay thee thy dealing, wherewith thou didst deal with us!

9 誰若抓起您的嬰兒幼子，摔在盤石上，他就得福祺。

How happy the man who shall snatch away and dash thy children against the crag.
