诗篇 137
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
被掳的哀歌
137 我们在巴比伦河边，
坐在那里，追想锡安，就哭了。
2 在一排柳树中，
我们挂上我们的竖琴。
3 掳掠我们的在那里
要我们唱歌；
抢夺我们的要我们为他们作乐：
“给我们唱一首锡安的歌吧！”
4 我们怎能在外邦之土
唱耶和华的歌呢？
5 耶路撒冷啊，我若忘记你，
宁愿我的右手枯萎；
6 我若不记得你，不看你过于我最喜乐的，
宁愿我的舌头贴于上膛！
7 耶路撒冷攻破的日子，
以东人说：“拆毁！拆毁！
直拆到根基！”
耶和华啊，求你记得！
8 将要被灭的巴比伦[a]哪，
用你待我们的恶行报复你的，那人有福了。
9 抓起你的婴孩摔在磐石上的，
那人有福了。

Psalm 137
EasyEnglish Bible
A sad song[a]
137 When we sat down beside the rivers in Babylon,
we were very upset.
We thought about Zion city that we had left behind,
and we wept.[b]
2 We hung up our harps there
on the branches of the willow trees.
3 Our enemies asked us to sing songs for them there.
They laughed at us as their prisoners.
They asked for a song to make them happy.
They shouted, ‘Sing us a song about Zion!’
4 But we are in a foreign land,
so we cannot sing a song to the Lord.
5 Jerusalem, I never want to forget you.
I would rather lose my right hand!
6 I would rather my tongue could no longer move![c]
Yes, I will always remember you, Jerusalem.
You are the most important thing that I think about,
more than anything else that makes me happy.
7 Lord, remember to punish the people of Edom.[d]
They were happy when Babylon's army won against Jerusalem.
On that day the Edomites said,
‘Knock down the city so that nothing still stands!’
8 People of Babylon, an army will soon destroy you!
They will punish you in the same way that you punished us.
May God bless whoever does that to you!
9 Just like you did to us,
they will hit your babies against a rock.
May God bless whoever does that to you!

- 137:1 In 586 BC, Babylon's army destroyed Jerusalem, the capital city of Judah. They took the people who lived there to Babylon as prisoners. We call the time that the people of Judah were prisoners in Babylon ‘the exile.’ They were not happy there and they wanted to return to Jerusalem.
- 137:1 Zion was the special place in Jerusalem where God's Temple was.
- 137:6 The right hand played the harp, and the tongue sang the words.
- 137:7 Edom was an enemy of Judah. When the Babylon army destroyed Jerusalem, the Edomites were very happy.

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.
