Psalms 137

1 By the riuers of Babel we sate, and there wee wept, when we remembred Zion.

當我們坐在巴比倫河畔，一起想熙雍即淚流滿面。

2 Wee hanged our harpes vpon the willowes in the middes thereof.

在那地的楊柳間，掛起我們的琴絃。

3 Then they that ledde vs captiues, required of vs songs and mirth, when wee had hanged vp our harpes, saying, Sing vs one of the songs 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 Howe shall we sing, said we, a song of the Lord 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 thee, O Ierusalem, let my right hand forget to play.

耶路撒冷！我如果將您忘掉，願我的右手枯焦！

6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleaue to the roofe of my mouth: yea, if I preferre not Ierusalem to my chiefe ioy.

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 the children of Edom, O Lord, in the day of Ierusalem, which saide, Rase it, rase it to the foundation thereof.

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 Babel, worthy to be destroyed, blessed shall he be that rewardeth thee, as thou hast serued vs.

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 that taketh and dasheth thy children against the stones.

誰若抓起您的嬰兒幼子，摔在盤石上，他就得福祺。
