詩篇 137

1 我們曾在巴比倫的河邊坐下， 一追想錫安就哭了。

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

2 我們把琴掛在那裏的柳樹上；

Upon the willows in the midst of it we hung up our harps.

3 因為在那裏，擄掠我們的要我們唱歌， 搶奪我們的要我們作樂，說： 給我們唱一首錫安歌吧！

For there those who led us captive required of us songs, and those who wasted us, mirth, saying, Sing for us one of the songs of Zion.

4 我們怎能在外邦唱耶和華的歌呢？

How shall we sing Jehovah's song in a foreign land?

5 耶路撒冷啊，我若忘記你， 情願我的右手忘記技巧！

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget.

6 我若不記念你， 若不看耶路撒冷過於我所最喜樂的， 情願我的舌頭貼於上膛！

Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth, if I do not remember thee, if I do not prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy.

7 耶路撒冷遭難的日子， 以東人說：拆毀！拆毀！ 直拆到根基！ 耶和華啊，求你記念這仇！

Remember, O Jehovah, the day of Jerusalem against the sons of Edom, who said, Raze it, raze it, even to the foundation thereof.

8 將要被滅的巴比倫城啊， 報復你像你待我們的，那人便為有福！

O daughter of Babylon, who is to be destroyed, happy shall he be who rewards thee as thou have served us.

9 拿你的嬰孩摔在磐石上的， 那人便為有福！

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