Psalms 137

1 By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion.

當我們坐在巴比倫河畔，一起想熙雍即淚流滿面。

2 There on the willows we hung our harps,

在那地的楊柳間，掛起我們的琴絃。

3 for there our captors requested a song; our tormentors demanded songs of joy: “Sing us a song of Zion.”

因那些俘虜我們的，要我們唱歌，那些迫害我們的，還要我們奏樂：快些來給我們唱一支熙雍的歌!

4 How can we sing a song of the LORD in a foreign land?

但我們身處外鄉異域，怎能謳唱上主的歌曲？

5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand cease to function.

耶路撒冷！我如果將您忘掉，願我的右手枯焦！

6 May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not exalt Jerusalem as my greatest joy!

我若不懷念您，不以耶路撒冷為喜樂，就寧願我的舌頭緊緊貼在我的上顎！

7 Remember, O LORD, the sons of Edom on the day Jerusalem fell: “Destroy it,” they said, “tear it down to its foundations!”

上主，求您記住厄東的子民，在耶路撒冷蒙難的時辰，他們曾喊叫說：拆毀，拆毀！夷為平地，一直見到基礎，

8 O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, blessed is he who repays you as you have done to us.

您只知破壞的巴比倫女子！誰若依照您加給我們的災痍，也焄樣報復於您，他就得福祺。

9 Blessed is he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.

誰若抓起您的嬰兒幼子，摔在盤石上，他就得福祺。
