'詩 篇 137 ' not found for the version: Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version.

被掳之民向 神的哀求

137 我们曾坐在巴比伦的河畔,

在那里我们一想起锡安就哭了。

我们把我们的琴

挂在那里的柳树上。

因为在那里,掳掠我们的人要我们唱歌,

苦待我们的人要我们娱乐他们;

他们说:“为我们唱一首锡安歌吧!”

我们怎能在异族之地

唱耶和华的歌呢?

耶路撒冷啊!如果我忘记你,

情愿我的右手忘记技巧(“忘记技巧”或译:“枯干”)。

如果我不记念你,

如果我不高举耶路撒冷

超过我最大的喜乐,

情愿我的舌头紧贴上膛。

耶和华啊!求你记念以东人在耶路撒冷遭难的日子所行的,

他们说:“拆毁它,拆毁它,

直拆到根基。”

将要被毁灭的(“将要被毁灭的”有古译本作“毁灭者”)巴比伦城(“城”原文作“女子”)啊!

照着你待我们的行为报复你的,

那人有福了。

抓住你的婴孩

摔在盘石上的,

那人有福了。

Israelites in Captivity

137 By the rivers in Babylon we sat and cried
    when we remembered Jerusalem.
On the poplar trees nearby
    we hung our harps.
Those who captured us asked us to sing.
    Our enemies wanted happy songs.
    They said, “Sing us a Temple song from Jerusalem!”

But we cannot sing songs about the Lord
    while we are in this foreign country!
Jerusalem, if I forget you,
    let my right hand lose its skill.
Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth
    if I do not remember you.
Let these things happen if I do not think about Jerusalem
    as my greatest joy.

Lord, remember what the Edomites did
    on the day Jerusalem fell.
They said, “Tear it down!
    Tear it down to its foundations!”

People of Babylon, you will be destroyed.
    The people who pay you back will be happy.
    They will punish you for what you did to us.
They will grab your babies
    and throw them against the rocks.

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.
