Psalms 137

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

我们曾在巴比伦的河边坐下， 一追想锡安就哭了。

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

我们把琴挂在那里的柳树上；

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.

因为在那里，掳掠我们的要我们唱歌， 抢夺我们的要我们作乐，说： 给我们唱一首锡安歌吧！

4 How should we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?

我们怎能在外邦唱耶和华的歌呢？

5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget [its skill].

耶路撒冷啊，我若忘记你， 情愿我的右手忘记技巧！

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.

我若不记念你， 若不看耶路撒冷过于我所最喜乐的， 情愿我的舌头贴于上膛！

7 Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase [it], rase [it], even to its foundations.

耶路撒冷遭难的日子， 以东人说：拆毁！拆毁！ 直拆到根基！ 耶和华啊，求你记念这仇！

8 Wretched daughter of Babylon! blessed [shall he be] who shall reward you as you have rewarded us.

将要被灭的巴比伦城啊， 报复你像你待我们的，那人便为有福！

9 Blessed [shall he be] who shall seize and dash your infants against the rock.

拿你的婴孩摔在磐石上的， 那人便为有福！
