诗篇 137
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
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。
2 我们把我们的琴
挂在那里的柳树上。
3 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!”
4 我们怎能在异族之地
唱耶和华的歌呢?
5 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”)。
6 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。
7 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。”
8 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。
9 抓住你的婴孩
摔在盘石上的,
那人有福了。
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.
Psalm 137
Common English Bible
Psalm 137
137 Alongside Babylon’s streams,
there we sat down,
crying because we remembered Zion.
2 We hung our lyres up
in the trees there
3 because that’s where our captors asked us to sing;
our tormentors requested songs of joy:
“Sing us a song about Zion!” they said.
4 But how could we possibly sing
the Lord’s song on foreign soil?
5 Jerusalem! If I forget you,
let my strong hand wither!
6 Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth
if I don’t remember you,
if I don’t make Jerusalem my greatest joy.
7 Lord, remember what the Edomites did
on Jerusalem’s dark day:
“Rip it down, rip it down!
All the way to its foundations!” they yelled.
8 Daughter Babylon, you destroyer,[a]
a blessing on the one who pays you back
the very deed you did to us!
9 A blessing on the one who seizes your children
and smashes them against the rock!

- Psalm 137:8 Sym, Tg, Syr; MT the devastated
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.
