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.

诗篇 137
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
被擄之民向 神的哀求
137 我們曾坐在巴比倫的河畔，
在那裡我們一想起錫安就哭了。
2 我們把我們的琴
掛在那裡的柳樹上。
3 因為在那裡，擄掠我們的人要我們唱歌，
苦待我們的人要我們娛樂他們；
他們說：“為我們唱一首錫安歌吧！”
4 我們怎能在異族之地
唱耶和華的歌呢？
5 耶路撒冷啊！如果我忘記你，
情願我的右手忘記技巧（“忘記技巧”或譯：“枯乾”）。
6 如果我不記念你，
如果我不高舉耶路撒冷
超過我最大的喜樂，
情願我的舌頭緊貼上膛。
7 耶和華啊！求你記念以東人在耶路撒冷遭難的日子所行的，
他們說：“拆毀它，拆毀它，
直拆到根基。”
8 將要被毀滅的（“將要被毀滅的”有古譯本作“毀滅者”）巴比倫城（“城”原文作“女子”）啊！
照著你待我們的行為報復你的，
那人有福了。
9 抓住你的嬰孩
摔在磐石上的，
那人有福了。

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!
