Psalms 137

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

我们曾在巴比伦的河边坐下， 一追想锡安就哭了。

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

我们把琴挂在那里的柳树上；

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 Howe shall we sing, said we, a song of the Lord in a strange land?

我们怎能在外邦唱耶和华的歌呢？

5 If I forget thee, O Ierusalem, let my right hand forget to play.

耶路撒冷啊，我若忘记你， 情愿我的右手忘记技巧！

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

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

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 that taketh and dasheth thy children against the stones.

拿你的婴孩摔在磐石上的， 那人便为有福！
