诗篇 137

1 我们曾在巴比伦的河边坐下， 一追想锡安就哭了。

For David, [a Psalm] of Jeremias. By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat; and wept when we remembered Sion.

2 我们把琴挂在那里的柳树上；

We hung our harps on the willows in the midst of it.

3 因为在那里，掳掠我们的要我们唱歌， 抢夺我们的要我们作乐，说： 给我们唱一首锡安歌吧！

For there they that had taken us captive asked of us the words of a song; and they that had carried us away [asked] a hymn, [saying], Sing us [one] of the songs of Sion.

4 我们怎能在外邦唱耶和华的歌呢？

How should we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?

5 耶路撒冷啊，我若忘记你， 情愿我的右手忘记技巧！

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget [its skill].

6 我若不记念你， 若不看耶路撒冷过于我所最喜乐的， 情愿我的舌头贴于上膛！

May my tongue cleave to my throat, if I do not remember thee; if I do not prefer Jerusalem as the chief of my joy.

7 耶路撒冷遭难的日子， 以东人说：拆毁！拆毁！ 直拆到根基！ 耶和华啊，求你记念这仇！

Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase [it], rase [it], even to its foundations.

8 将要被灭的巴比伦城啊， 报复你像你待我们的，那人便为有福！

Wretched daughter of Babylon! blessed [shall he be] who shall reward thee as thou hast rewarded us.

9 拿你的婴孩摔在磐石上的， 那人便为有福！

Blessed [shall he be] who shall seize and dash thine infants against the rock.
