诗篇 137

1 我们曾在巴比伦的河边坐下， 一追想锡安就哭了。

Upon 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；

On the willows in the midst thereof we hung up our instruments.

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 led us into captivity required of us the words of songs. And they that carried us away, said: Sing ye to us a hymn of the songs of Sion.

4 我们怎能在外邦唱耶和华的歌呢？

How shall we sing the song of the Lord 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 be forgotten.

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！

Let my tongue cleave to my jaws, if I do not remember thee: If I make not Jerusalem the beginning 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 say: Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.

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！

O daughter of Babylon, miserable: blessed shall he be who shall repay thee thy payment which thou hast paid us.

9 拿你的婴孩摔在磐石上的， 那人便为有福！

Blessed be he that shall take and dash thy little ones against the rock.
