Psalms 137

1 On the floodis of Babiloyne there we saten, and wepten; while we bithouyten on Syon.

我们曾在巴比伦的河边坐下， 一追想锡安就哭了。

2 In salewis in the myddil therof; we hangiden vp oure orguns.

我们把琴挂在那里的柳树上；

3 For thei that ledden vs prisoners; axiden vs there the wordis of songis. And thei that ledden awei vs seiden; Synge ye to vs an ympne of the songis of Syon.

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 Hou schulen we singe a songe of the Lord; in an alien lond?

我们怎能在外邦唱耶和华的歌呢？

5 If Y foryete thee, Jerusalem; my riyt hond be youun to foryeting.

耶路撒冷啊，我若忘记你， 情愿我的右手忘记技巧！

6 Mi tunge cleue to my chekis; if Y bithenke not on thee. If Y purposide not of thee, Jerusalem; in the bigynnyng of my gladnesse.

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 Lord, haue thou mynde on the sones of Edom; for the dai of Jerusalem. Whiche seien, Anyntische ye, anyntische ye; `til to the foundement ther ynne.

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 Thou wretchid douyter of Babiloyne; he is blessid, that `schal yelde to thee thi yelding, which thou yeldidist to 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 He is blessid, that schal holde; and hurtle doun hise litle children at a stoon.

拿你的婴孩摔在磐石上的， 那人便为有福！
