Psalms 137

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	NOVA VULGATA
1 By the waters of Babylon, there we sat down and wept, when we remembered Zion.	1 Super flumina Babylonis, illic sedimus et flevimus, cum recordaremur Sion.
2 On the willows there we hung up our lyres.	2 In salicibus in medio eius suspendimus citharas nostras.
3 For there our captors required of us songs, and our tormentors, mirth, saying, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion!"	3 Quia illic rogaverunt nos, qui captivos duxerunt nos, verba cantionum, et, qui affligebant nos, laetitiam: “ Cantate nobis de canticis Sion ”.
4 How shall we sing the LORD's song in a foreign land?	4 Quomodo cantabimus canticum Domini in terra aliena?
5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand wither!	5 Si oblitus fuero tui, Ierusalem, oblivioni detur dextera mea;
6 Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I do not remember you, if I do not set Jerusalem above my highest joy!	6 adhaereat lingua mea faucibus meis, si non meminero tui, si non praeposuero Ierusalem in capite laetitiae meae.
7 Remember, O LORD, against the Edomites the day of Jerusalem, how they said, "Rase it, rase it! Down to its foundations!"	7 Memor esto, Domine, adversus filios Edom diei Ierusalem; qui dicebant: “ Exinanite, exinanite usque ad fundamentum in ea ”.
8 O daughter of Babylon, you devastator! Happy shall he be who requites you with what you have done to us!	8 Filia Babylonis devastans, beatus, qui retribuet tibi retributionem tuam, quam retribuisti nobis;
9 Happy shall he be who takes your little ones and dashes them against the rock!	9 beatus, qui tenebit et allidet parvulos tuos ad petram.
