תהילים פרק קלז

Псалом 137

Даже самые веселые из песен Циона на чужой земле полны печали и скорби. Ведь на всех дорогах изгнания мы хранили память о Храме и разрушенном Иерусалиме.

English	Hebrew	English transliteration
1. By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept, When we remembered Zion. 2. Upon the willows in the midst thereof We hanged up our harps. 3. For there they that led us captive asked of us words of song, And our tormentors asked of us mirth: ‘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 thee, O Jerusalem, Let my right hand forget her cunning. 6. Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, If I remember thee not; If I set not Jerusalem Above my chiefest joy. 7. Remember, O LORD, against the children of Edom The day of Jerusalem; Who said: 'Rase it, rase it, Even to the foundation thereof.' 8. O daughter of Babylon, that art to be destroyed; Happy shall he be, that repayeth thee As thou hast served us. 9. Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones Against the rock.	א עַל נַהֲרוֹת, בָּבֶל--שָׁם יָשַׁבְנוּ, גַּם-בָּכִינוּ: בְּזָכְרֵנוּ, אֶת-צִיּוֹן ב עַל-עֲרָבִים בְּתוֹכָהּ-- תָּלִינוּ, כִּנֹּרוֹתֵינוּ ג כִּי שָׁם שְׁאֵלוּנוּ שׁוֹבֵינוּ, דִּבְרֵי-שִׁיר-- וְתוֹלָלֵינוּ שִׂמְחָה שִׁירוּ לָנוּ, מִשִּׁיר צִיּוֹן ד אֵיךְ--נָשִׁיר אֶת-שִׁיר-יְהוָה: עַל, אַדְמַת נֵכָר ה אִם-אֶשְׁכָּחֵךְ יְרוּשָׁלִָם-- תִּשְׁכַּח יְמִינִי ו תִּדְבַּק-לְשׁוֹנִי, לְחִכִּי-- אִם-לֹא אֶזְכְּרֵכִי אִם-לֹא אַעֲלֶה, אֶת-יְרוּשָׁלִַם-- עַל, רֹאשׁ שִׂמְחָתִי ז זְכֹר יְהוָה, לִבְנֵי אֱדוֹם-- אֵת, יוֹם יְרוּשָׁלִָם הָאֹמְרִים, עָרוּ עָרוּ-- עַד, הַיְסוֹד בָּהּ ח בַּת-בָּבֶל, הַשְּׁדוּדָה אַשְׁרֵי שֶׁיְשַׁלֶּם-לָךְ-- אֶת-גְּמוּלֵךְ, שֶׁגָּמַלְתְּ לָנוּ ט אַשְׁרֵי, שֶׁיֹּאחֵז וְנִפֵּץ אֶת-עֹלָלַיִךְ-- אֶל-הַסָּלַע	1.
