Mga Awit 137
Magandang Balita Biblia
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
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!

- Psalm 137:7 Lit. Make bare
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.
