Psalm 137

New International Version

from Biblica
1 By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion. 2 There on the poplars we hung our harps, 3 for there our captors asked us for songs, our tormentors demanded songs of joy; they said, ‘Sing us one of the songs of Zion!’ 4 How can we sing the songs of the Lord while in a foreign land? 5 If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill. 6 May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy. 7 Remember, Lord, what the Edomites did on the day Jerusalem fell. ‘Tear it down,’ they cried, ‘tear it down to its foundations!’ 8 Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction, 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 against the rocks.

Psalm 137

الكتاب المقدس

from Biblica
1 عَلَى ضِفَافِ أَنْهَارِ بَابِلَ جَلَسْنَا، وَبَكَيْنَا عِنْدَمَا تَذَكَّرْنَا أُورُشَلِيمَ. 2 هُنَاكَ عَلَّقْنَا أَعْوَادَنَا عَلَى أَشْجَارِ الصَّفْصَافِ. 3 هُنَاكَ طَلَبَ مِنَّا الَّذِينَ سَبَوْنَا أَنْ نَشْدُوَ بِتَرْنِيمَةٍ، وَالَّذِينَ عَذَّبُونَا أَنْ نُطْرِبَهُمْ قَائِلِينَ: «أَنْشِدُوا لَنَا مِنْ تَرَانِيمِ صِهْيَوْنَ». 4 كَيْفَ نَشْدُو بِتَرْنِيمَةِ الرَّبِّ فِي أَرْضٍ غَرِيبَةٍ؟ 5 إِنْ نَسِيتُكِ يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ، فَلْتَنْسَ يَمِينِي مَهَارَتَهَا. 6 لِيَلْتَصِقْ لِسَانِي بِحَنَكِي إِنْ لَمْ أَذْكُرْكِ وَلَمْ أُفَضِّلْكِ عَلَى ذِرْوَةِ أَفْرَاحِي. 7 اذْكُرْ يَا رَبُّ لِبَنِي أَدُومَ مَا فَعَلُوهُ يَوْمَ خَرَابِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، إِذْ قَالُوا: «اهْدِمُوا اهْدِمُوا حَتَّى يَتَعَرَّى أَسَاسُهَا». 8 يَا بِنْتَ بَابِلَ الْمُحَتَّمِ خَرَابُهَا، طُوبَى لِمَنْ يُجَازِيكِ بِمَا جَزَيْتِنَا بِهِ. 9 طُوبَى لِمَنْ يُمْسِكُ صِغَارَكِ وَيَضْرِبُ بِهِمِ الصَّخْرَةَ.
