詩篇 137

1 當我們坐在巴比倫河畔，一起想熙雍即淚流滿面。

On the floodis of Babiloyne there we saten, and wepten; while we bithouyten on Syon.

2 在那地的楊柳間，掛起我們的琴絃。

In salewis in the myddil therof; we hangiden vp oure orguns.

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 thei that ledden vs prisoners; axiden vs there the wordis of songis. And thei that ledden awei vs seiden; Synge ye to vs an ympne of the songis of Syon.

4 但我們身處外鄉異域，怎能謳唱上主的歌曲？

Hou schulen we singe a songe of the Lord; in an alien lond?

5 耶路撒冷！我如果將您忘掉，願我的右手枯焦！

If Y foryete thee, Jerusalem; my riyt hond be youun to foryeting.

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！

Mi tunge cleue to my chekis; if Y bithenke not on thee. If Y purposide not of thee, Jerusalem; in the bigynnyng of my gladnesse.

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, haue thou mynde on the sones of Edom; for the dai of Jerusalem. Whiche seien, Anyntische ye, anyntische ye; `til to the foundement ther ynne.

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。

Thou wretchid douyter of Babiloyne; he is blessid, that `schal yelde to thee thi yelding, which thou yeldidist to vs.

9 誰若抓起您的嬰兒幼子，摔在盤石上，他就得福祺。

He is blessid, that schal holde; and hurtle doun hise litle children at a stoon.
