Psalms 137

1 By rivers of Babylon—There we sat, Indeed, we 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 We hung our harps on willows in its midst.

在那地的楊柳間，掛起我們的琴絃。

3 For there our captors asked us the words of a song, And our spoilers—joy: “Sing to us of 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 do we sing the song of YHWH, On the land of a stranger?

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, my right hand forgets!

耶路撒冷！我如果將您忘掉，願我的右手枯焦！

6 My tongue cleaves to my palate, If I do not remember you, If I do not exalt Jerusalem above my chief 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, YHWH, for the sons of Edom, The day of Jerusalem, Those saying, “Raze, raze to its foundation!”

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, O destroyed one, O the blessedness of him who repays to you your deed, That 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 O the blessedness of him who seizes, and has dashed your sucklings on the rock!

誰若抓起您的嬰兒幼子，摔在盤石上，他就得福祺。
