Psalms 137

1 For David, [a Psalm] of Jeremias. By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat; and wept when we remembered Sion.

當我們坐在巴比倫河畔，一起想熙雍即淚流滿面。

2 We hung our harps on the willows in the midst of it.

在那地的楊柳間，掛起我們的琴絃。

3 For there they that had taken us captive asked of us the words of a song; and they that had carried us away [asked] a hymn, [saying], Sing us [one] of the songs of Sion.

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 should we sing the Lord's song in a strange 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, let my right hand forget [its skill].

耶路撒冷！我如果將您忘掉，願我的右手枯焦！

6 May my tongue cleave to my throat, if I do not remember you; if I do not prefer Jerusalem as the chief of my 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 children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase [it], rase [it], even 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 Wretched daughter of Babylon! blessed [shall he be] who shall reward you as you have rewarded 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 [shall he be] who shall seize and dash your infants against the rock.

誰若抓起您的嬰兒幼子，摔在盤石上，他就得福祺。
