Psalms 137

1 By rivers of Babylon — There we did sit, Yea, 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 willows in its midst we hung our harps.

我们把琴挂在那里的柳树上；

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

我们怎能在外邦唱耶和华的歌呢？

5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, my right hand forgetteth!

耶路撒冷啊，我若忘记你， 情愿我的右手忘记技巧！

6 My tongue doth cleave to my palate, If I do not remember thee, If I do not exalt 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, Jehovah, for the sons of Edom, The day of Jerusalem, Those saying, 'Rase, rase 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 O daughter of Babylon, O destroyed one, O the happiness of him who repayeth to thee thy deed, That thou hast done to 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 O the happiness of him who doth seize, And hath dashed thy sucklings on the rock!

拿你的婴孩摔在磐石上的， 那人便为有福！
