Mga Awit 137

Panaghoy ng mga Israelitang Dinalang-bihag
137 Sa pampang ng mga ilog nitong bansang Babilonia,
kami'y nakaupong tumatangis, sa tuwing Zion, aming naaalala.
2 Sa sanga ng mga kahoy, sa tabi ng ilog nila,
isinabit namin doon, yaong dala naming lira.
3 Sa amin ay iniutos ng sa amin ay lumupig,
na aliwin namin sila, ng matamis naming tinig,
tungkol sa Zion, yaong paksa, niyong nais nilang awit.
4 Ang awit para kay Yahweh, pa'no namin aawitin,
samantalang kami'y bihag sa lupaing hindi amin?
5 Ayaw ko nang ang lira ko'y hawakan pa at tugtugin,
kung ang bunga sa pagtugtog, limutin ang Jerusalem;
6 di na ako aawit pa, kung ang aking sasapitin
sa isip ko't alaala, ika'y ganap na limutin,
kung ang kaligayahan ko ay sa iba ko hahanapin.
7 Yahweh, sana'y gunitain, ginawa ng Edomita,
nang ang bayang Jerusalem ay malupig at makuha;
sumisigaw silang lahat na ang wikang binabadya:
“Iguho na nang lubusan, sa lupa ay ibagsak na!”
8 Tandaan(A) mo, Babilonia, ika'y tiyak wawasakin,
dahilan sa ubod sama ang ginawa mo sa amin;
yaong taong magwawasak, mapalad na ituturing
9 kung ang inyong mga sanggol kunin niya at durugin!

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.
Psalm 137
King James Version
Psalm 137
King James Version
137 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
3 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.
4 How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?
5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
6 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.
7 Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.
8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
Psalm 137

Psalm 137
New King James Version
Longing for Zion in a Foreign Land
137 By the rivers of Babylon,
There we sat down, yea, we wept
When we remembered Zion.
2 We hung our harps
Upon the willows in the midst of it.
3 For there those who carried us away captive asked of us a song,
And those who (A)plundered us requested mirth,
Saying, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”
4 How shall we sing the Lord’s song
In a foreign land?
5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
Let my right hand forget its skill!
6 If I do not remember you,
Let my (B)tongue cling to the roof of my mouth—
If I do not exalt Jerusalem
Above my chief joy.
7 Remember, O Lord, against (C)the sons of Edom
The day of Jerusalem,
Who said, [a]“Raze it, raze it,
To its very foundation!”
8 O daughter of Babylon, (D)who are to be destroyed,
Happy the one (E)who repays you as you have served us!
9 Happy the one who takes and (F)dashes
Your little ones against the rock!
