诗篇 137

1 我们曾在巴比伦的河边坐下， 一追想锡安就哭了。

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

2 我们把琴挂在那里的柳树上；

On the willows in that land, we hung up our harps.

3 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！

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!”

4 我们怎能在外邦唱耶和华的歌呢？

How can we sing the LORD’s song in a foreign land?

5 耶路撒冷啊，我若忘记你， 情愿我的右手忘记技巧！

If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill.

6 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！

Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don’t remember you, if I don’t prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy.

7 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！

Remember, LORD, against the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem, who said, “Raze it! Raze it even to its foundation!”

8 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！

Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, he will be happy who repays you, as you have done to us.

9 拿你的婴孩摔在磐石上的， 那人便为有福！

Happy shall he be, who takes and dashes your little ones against the rock.
