詩篇 137

1 我們曾在巴比倫的河邊坐下， 一追想錫安就哭了。

On the floodis of Babiloyne there we saten, and wepten; while we bithouyten on Syon.

2 我們把琴掛在那裏的柳樹上；

In salewis in the myddil therof; we hangiden vp oure orguns.

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 thei that ledden vs prisoners; axiden vs there the wordis of songis. And thei that ledden awei vs seiden; Synge ye to vs an ympne of the songis of Syon.

4 我們怎能在外邦唱耶和華的歌呢？

Hou schulen we singe a songe of the Lord; in an alien lond?

5 耶路撒冷啊，我若忘記你， 情願我的右手忘記技巧！

If Y foryete thee, Jerusalem; my riyt hond be youun to foryeting.

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！

Mi tunge cleue to my chekis; if Y bithenke not on thee. If Y purposide not of thee, Jerusalem; in the bigynnyng of my gladnesse.

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！

Lord, haue thou mynde on the sones of Edom; for the dai of Jerusalem. Whiche seien, Anyntische ye, anyntische ye; `til to the foundement ther ynne.

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！

Thou wretchid douyter of Babiloyne; he is blessid, that `schal yelde to thee thi yelding, which thou yeldidist to vs.

9 拿你的嬰孩摔在磐石上的， 那人便為有福！

He is blessid, that schal holde; and hurtle doun hise litle children at a stoon.
