Psalms 137

1 By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept, When we remembered Zion.

我們曾在巴比倫的河邊坐下， 一追想錫安就哭了。

2 Upon the willows in the midst thereof We hanged up our harps.

我們把琴掛在那裏的柳樹上；

3 For there they that led us captive required of us songs, And they that wasted us [required of us] mirth, [saying], Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

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！

4 How shall we sing Jehovah’s song In a foreign land?

我們怎能在外邦唱耶和華的歌呢？

5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, Let my right hand forget [her skill].

耶路撒冷啊，我若忘記你， 情願我的右手忘記技巧！

6 Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, If I remember thee not; If I prefer not Jerusalem Above my chief joy.

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！

7 Remember, O Jehovah, against the children of Edom The day of Jerusalem; Who said, Rase it, rase it, Even to the foundation thereof.

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！

8 O daughter of Babylon, that art to be destroyed, Happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee As thou hast served us.

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！

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

拿你的嬰孩摔在磐石上的， 那人便為有福！
