Sálmarnir 137
Icelandic Bible
137 Við Babýlons fljót, þar sátum vér og grétum, er vér minntumst Síonar.
2 Á pílviðina þar hengdum vér upp gígjur vorar.
3 Því að herleiðendur vorir heimtuðu söngljóð af oss og kúgarar vorir kæti: "Syngið oss Síonarkvæði!"
4 Hvernig ættum vér að syngja Drottins ljóð í öðru landi?
5 Ef ég gleymi þér, Jerúsalem, þá visni mín hægri hönd.
6 Tunga mín loði mér við góm, ef ég man eigi til þín, ef Jerúsalem er eigi allra besta yndið mitt.
7 Mun þú Edóms niðjum, Drottinn, óheilladag Jerúsalem, þegar þeir æptu: "Rífið, rífið allt niður til grunna!"
8 Babýlonsdóttir, þú sem tortímir! Heill þeim, er geldur þér fyrir það sem þú hefir gjört oss!
9 Heill þeim er þrífur ungbörn þín og slær þeim niður við stein.
Psalm 137
New International Version
Psalm 137
1 By the rivers of Babylon(A) we sat and wept(B)
when we remembered Zion.(C)
2 There on the poplars(D)
we hung our harps,(E)
3 for there our captors(F) asked us for songs,
our tormentors demanded(G) songs of joy;
they said, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”(H)
4 How can we sing the songs of the Lord(I)
while in a foreign land?
5 If I forget you,(J) Jerusalem,
may my right hand forget its skill.
6 May my tongue cling to the roof(K) of my mouth
if I do not remember(L) you,
if I do not consider Jerusalem(M)
my highest joy.
7 Remember, Lord, what the Edomites(N) did
on the day Jerusalem fell.(O)
“Tear it down,” they cried,
“tear it down to its foundations!”(P)
8 Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction,(Q)
happy is the one who repays you
according to what you have done to us.
9 Happy is the one who seizes your infants
and dashes them(R) against the rocks.
