Tap a verse to highlight it

1 我們曾在 巴比倫 的河 邊 坐下,一追想 錫安 就 哭了。

2 我們把琴 掛 在 那裡 的柳樹上;

3 因為 在那裡,擄掠我們的 要我們 唱歌,搶奪我們的 要我們作樂,說:給我們 唱 一首錫安 歌吧!

4 我們怎能 在 外邦 唱 耶和華 的歌呢?

5 耶路撒冷啊,我若 忘記你,情願我的右手 忘記技巧!

6 我若 不 記念你,若 不 看 耶路撒冷 過於 我所最 喜樂的,情願我的舌頭 貼 於上膛!

7 耶路撒冷 遭難的日子,以東 人 說:拆毀!拆毀!直拆到 根基!耶和華啊,求你記念這仇!

8 將要被滅 的巴比倫城啊(城:原文是女子),報復 你像 你待 我們的,那人便為有福!

9 拿 你的嬰孩 摔 在 磐石上的,那人便為有福!
