诗篇 137

1 我们曾在巴比伦的河边坐下， 一追想锡安就哭了。

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

2 我们把琴挂在那里的柳树上；

We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.

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 carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us [required of us] mirth, [saying], Sing us [one] of the songs of Zion.

4 我们怎能在外邦唱耶和华的歌呢？

How shall 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 [her cunning].

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！

If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief 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 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, who art to be destroyed; happy [shall he be], that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.

9 拿你的婴孩摔在磐石上的， 那人便为有福！

Happy [shall he be], that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
