Psalms 137

1 By the rivers of Babylon we were seated, weeping at the memory of Zion,

我们曾在巴比伦的河边坐下， 一追想锡安就哭了。

2 Hanging our instruments of music on the trees by the waterside.

我们把琴挂在那里的柳树上；

3 For there those who had taken us prisoners made request for a song; and those who had taken away all we had gave us orders to be glad, saying, Give 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 may we give the Lord's song in a strange land?

我们怎能在外邦唱耶和华的歌呢？

5 If I keep not your memory, O Jerusalem, let not my right hand keep the memory of its art.

耶路撒冷啊，我若忘记你， 情愿我的右手忘记技巧！

6 If I let you go out of my thoughts, and if I do not put Jerusalem before my greatest joy, let my tongue be fixed to the roof of my mouth.

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 O Lord, keep in mind against the children of Edom the day of Jerusalem; how they said, Let it be uncovered, uncovered even to its base.

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, whose fate is destruction; happy is the man who does to you what you have 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 Happy is the man who takes your little ones, crushing them against the rocks.

拿你的婴孩摔在磐石上的， 那人便为有福！
