| 137:1 | 他们曾在巴比伦的河边坐下，一追想锡安就哭了。 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. | ||
| 137:2 | 我们把琴挂在那里的柳树上。 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. | ||
| 137:3 | 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。 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. | ||
| 137:4 | 我们怎能在外邦唱耶和华的歌呢。 How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land? | ||
| 137:5 | 耶路撒冷阿，我若忘记你，情愿我的右手忘记技巧。 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. | ||
| 137:6 | 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。 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. | ||
| 137:7 | 耶路撒冷遭难的日子，以东人说，拆毁，拆毁，直拆到根基。耶和华阿求你记念这仇。 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof. | ||
| 137:8 | 将要被灭的巴比伦城阿（城原文是女子），报复你像你待我们的，那人便为有福。 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. | ||
| 137:9 | 拿你的婴孩摔在磐石上的，那人便为有福。 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones. | ||
