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 thereof we hanged 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 they that led us captive asked of us words of song, and our tormentors asked of us mirth: 'Sing 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 the LORD'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 her cunning.

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 the roof of my mouth, if I remember thee not; if I set not Jerusalem above my chiefest 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, against the children of Edom the day of Jerusalem; who said: '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, that art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that repayeth thee as thou hast served us.

9 拿你的嬰孩摔在磐石上的， 那人便為有福！

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