Psalm 137
Amplified Bible
An Experience of the Captivity.
137 By the rivers of Babylon,
There we [captives] sat down and wept,
When we remembered Zion [the city God imprinted on our hearts].
2
On the willow trees in the midst of Babylon
We hung our harps.
3
For there they who took us captive demanded of us a song with words,
And our tormentors [who made a mockery of us demanded] amusement, saying,
“Sing us one of the songs of Zion.”
4
How can we sing the Lord’s song
In a strange and foreign land?
5
If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
Let my right hand forget [her skill with the harp].
6
Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
If I do not remember you,
If I do not prefer Jerusalem
Above my chief joy.(A)
7
Remember, O Lord, against the sons of Edom,
The day of [the fall of] Jerusalem,
Who said “Down, down [with her]
To her very foundation.”
8
O daughter of Babylon, you devastator,
How blessed will be the one
Who repays you [with destruction] as you have repaid us.(B)
9
How blessed will be the one who seizes and dashes your little ones
Against the rock.
Salmos 137
Reina-Valera 1960
Lamento de los cautivos en Babilonia
137 Junto a los ríos de Babilonia,
Allí nos sentábamos, y aun llorábamos,
Acordándonos de Sion.
2 Sobre los sauces en medio de ella
Colgamos nuestras arpas.
3 Y los que nos habían llevado cautivos nos pedían que cantásemos,
Y los que nos habían desolado nos pedían alegría, diciendo:
Cantadnos algunos de los cánticos de Sion.
4 ¿Cómo cantaremos cántico de Jehová
En tierra de extraños?
5 Si me olvidare de ti, oh Jerusalén,
Pierda mi diestra su destreza.
6 Mi lengua se pegue a mi paladar,
Si de ti no me acordare;
Si no enalteciere a Jerusalén
Como preferente asunto de mi alegría.
7 Oh Jehová, recuerda contra los hijos de Edom el día de Jerusalén,
Cuando decían: Arrasadla, arrasadla
Hasta los cimientos.
8 Hija de Babilonia la desolada,
Bienaventurado el que te diere el pago
De lo que tú nos hiciste.(A)
9 Dichoso el que tomare y estrellare tus niños
Contra la peña.
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.
