被掳于巴比伦者之哀歌

137 我们曾在巴比伦的河边坐下,一追想锡安就哭了。
我们把琴挂在那里的柳树上。
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!”
我们怎能在外邦唱耶和华的歌呢?
耶路撒冷啊,我若忘记你,情愿我的右手忘记技巧!
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!
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!
将要被灭的巴比伦[a]啊,报复你像你待我们的,那人便为有福!
拿你的婴孩摔在磐石上的,那人便为有福!

被掳者的哀歌

137 我们坐在巴比伦河畔,
想起锡安禁不住凄然泪下。
我们把琴挂在柳树上。
俘虏我们的人要我们唱歌,
掳掠我们的人要我们歌唱,说:
“给我们唱一首锡安的歌。”
我们流落异邦,
怎能唱颂赞耶和华的歌呢?
耶路撒冷啊,倘若我忘了你,
情愿我的右手无法再拨弄琴弦;
倘若我忘了你,
不以你为我的至爱,
情愿我的舌头不能再歌唱。

耶和华啊,
求你记住耶路撒冷沦陷时以东人的行径。
他们喊道:
“拆毁这城,把它夷为平地!”
巴比伦城啊,
你快要灭亡了,
那向你以牙还牙为我们复仇的人有福了!
那抓住你的婴孩摔在石头上的人有福了!

Psalm 137

By the rivers of Babylon(A) we sat and wept(B)
    when we remembered Zion.(C)
There on the poplars(D)
    we hung our harps,(E)
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)

How can we sing the songs of the Lord(I)
    while in a foreign land?
If I forget you,(J) Jerusalem,
    may my right hand forget its skill.
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.

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)
Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction,(Q)
    happy is the one who repays you
    according to what you have done to us.
Happy is the one who seizes your infants
    and dashes them(R) against the rocks.

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

We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.

For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.

If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.

Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.

O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.

Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
