JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυὶδ, Ἀγγαίου καὶ Ζαχαρίου. Ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι Κύριε ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ μου, καὶ ἐναντίον ἀγγέλων ψαλῶ σοι, ὅτι ἤκουσας πάντα τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ στόματός μου.
1By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
2Προσκυνήσω πρὸς ναὸν ἅγιόν σου, καὶ ἐξομολογήσομαι τῷ ὀνόματί σου, ἐπὶ τῷ ἐλέει σου καὶ τῇ ἀληθείᾳ σου· ὅτι ἐμεγάλυνας ἐπὶ πᾶν τὸ ὄνομα τὸ ἅγιόν σου.
2Upon the willows in the midst thereof we hanged up our harps.
3Ἐν ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ ἐπικαλέσωμαί σε, ταχὺ ἐπάκουσόν μου· πολυωρήσεις με ἐν ψυχῇ μου δυνάμει σου.
3For 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.'
4Ἐξομολογησάσθωσάν σοι Κύριε πάντες οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς, ὅτι ἤκουσαν πάντα τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ στόματός σου.
4How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a foreign land?
5Καὶ ᾀσάτωσαν ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς Κυρίου, ὅτι μεγάλη ἡ δόξα Κυρίου.
5If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
6Ὅτι ὑψηλὸς Κύριος, καὶ τὰ ταπεινὰ ἐφορᾷ, καὶ τὰ ὑψηλὰ ἀπομακρόθεν γινώσκει.
6Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I remember thee not; if I set not Jerusalem above my chiefest joy.
7Ἐὰν πορευθῶ ἐν μέσῳ θλίψεως, ζήσεις με· ἐπʼ ὀργὴν ἐχθρῶν μου ἐξέτεινας χεῖράς σου, καὶ ἔσωσέ με ἡ δεξιά σου.
7Remember, O LORD, against the children of Edom the day of Jerusalem; who said: 'Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.'
8Κύριε ἀνταποδώσεις ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ· Κύριε τὸ ἔλεός σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν σου μὴ παρίδῃς.
8O daughter of Babylon, that art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that repayeth thee as thou hast served us.
no verse 9 in this text
9Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the rock.
