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!

  1. 诗篇 137:8 “城”原文作“女子”。

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.
