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；

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

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

4 我們怎能在外邦唱耶和華的歌呢？

How should we sing a song of Jehovah's upon a foreign soil?

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, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget [its skill];

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！

If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to my palate: if I prefer not 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, against the sons of Edom, the day of Jerusalem; who said, Lay [it] bare, Lay [it] bare, down to its foundation!

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！

Daughter of Babylon, who art to be laid waste, happy he that rendereth unto thee that which thou hast meted out to us.

9 拿你的嬰孩摔在磐石上的， 那人便為有福！

Happy he that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the rock.
