詩篇 137

1 我們曾在巴比倫的河邊坐下， 一追想錫安就哭了。

Upon the rivers of Babylon, there we sat and wept: when we remembered Sion:

2 我們把琴掛在那裏的柳樹上；

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

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 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 我們怎能在外邦唱耶和華的歌呢？

How shall we sing the song of the Lord in a strange land?

5 耶路撒冷啊，我若忘記你， 情願我的右手忘記技巧！

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

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 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 Lord, the children of Edom, in the day of Jerusalem: Who say: Rase it, rase 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, miserable: blessed shall he be who shall repay thee thy payment which thou hast paid us.

9 拿你的嬰孩摔在磐石上的， 那人便為有福！

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