诗篇 137
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
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。
2 我们把琴挂在那里的柳树上。
3 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！”
4 我们怎能在外邦唱耶和华的歌呢？
5 耶路撒冷啊，我若忘记你，情愿我的右手忘记技巧！
6 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！
7 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！
8 将要被灭的巴比伦城[a]啊，报复你像你待我们的，那人便为有福！
9 拿你的婴孩摔在磐石上的，那人便为有福！

Psalm 137
New Living Translation
Psalm 137
1 Beside the rivers of Babylon, we sat and wept
as we thought of Jerusalem.[a]
2 We put away our harps,
hanging them on the branches of poplar trees.
3 For our captors demanded a song from us.
Our tormentors insisted on a joyful hymn:
“Sing us one of those songs of Jerusalem!”
4 But how can we sing the songs of the Lord
while in a pagan land?
5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
let my right hand forget how to play the harp.
6 May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth
if I fail to remember you,
if I don’t make Jerusalem my greatest joy.
7 O Lord, remember what the Edomites did
on the day the armies of Babylon captured Jerusalem.
“Destroy it!” they yelled.
“Level it to the ground!”
8 O Babylon, you will be destroyed.
Happy is the one who pays you back
for what you have done to us.
9 Happy is the one who takes your babies
and smashes them against the rocks!
Psalm 137
New Life Version
Israel in a Strange Land
137 We sat down and cried by the rivers of Babylon when we remembered Zion. 2 There upon the trees we put our harps. 3 For those who held us there made us sing. And those who made it hard for us asked for joy. They said, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion.”
4 How can we sing the song of the Lord in a strange land? 5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget what it is able to do. 6 May my tongue hold to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not honor Jerusalem above my highest joy.
7 O Lord, remember what the sons of Edom did on the day Jerusalem fell. “Knock it down,” they said, “Knock it down to the ground.” 8 O daughter of Babylon, you who will be destroyed, how honored will be the one who pays you back for what you have done to us! 9 How honored will be the one who catches your children and throws them against the rock!
