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. Yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

2 在那地的楊柳間，掛起我們的琴絃。

On the willows in that land, we hung up our harps.

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, those who led us captive asked us for songs. Those who tormented us demanded songs of joy: “Sing us one 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 can we sing the LORD’s song in a foreign land?

5 耶路撒冷！我如果將您忘掉，願我的右手枯焦！

If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill.

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 stick to the roof of my mouth if I don’t remember you, if I don’t prefer Jerusalem above my chief 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, LORD, against the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem, who said, “Raze it! Raze it even to its foundation!”

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, doomed to destruction, he will be happy who repays you, as you have done to us.

9 誰若抓起您的嬰兒幼子，摔在盤石上，他就得福祺。

Happy shall he be, who takes and dashes your little ones against the rock.
