Psalms 137

1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down. Yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

我们曾在巴比伦的河边坐下， 一追想锡安就哭了。

2 On the willows in its midst, we hung up our harps.

我们把琴挂在那里的柳树上；

3 For there, those who led us captive asked us for songs. Those who tormented us demanded songs of joy: "Sing us 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 How can we sing YHWH's song in a foreign land?

我们怎能在外邦唱耶和华的歌呢？

5 If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand be forgotten.

耶路撒冷啊，我若忘记你， 情愿我的右手忘记技巧！

6 Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you; if I do not prefer Jerusalem above my chief 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, YHWH, against the descendants of Edom, the day of Jerusalem; who said, "Raze it. Raze it even to its foundation."

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 Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, he will be blessed who rewards you, as you have served 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 takes and dashes your little ones against the rock.

拿你的婴孩摔在磐石上的， 那人便为有福！
