Psalms 137

DOUAI-RHEIMS	DIODATI
1 Praise the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.	1 ESSENDO presso alle fiumane di Babilonia, Dove noi sedevamo, ed anche piangevamo, Ricordandoci di Sion,
2 Praise ye the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever.	2 Noi avevamo appese le nostre cetere A’ salci, in mezzo di essa.
3 Praise ye the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever.	3 Benchè quelli che ci avevano menati in cattività Ci richiedessero quivi che cantassimo; E quelli che ci facevano urlar piangendo Ci richiedessero canzoni d’allegrezza, dicendo: Cantateci delle canzoni di Sion;
4 Who alone doth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.	4 Come avremmo noi cantate le canzoni del Signore In paese di stranieri?
5 Who made the heavens in understanding: for his mercy endureth for ever.	5 Se io ti dimentico, o Gerusalemme; Se la mia destra ti dimentica;
6 Who established the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever.	6 Resti attaccata la mia lingua al mio palato, Se io non mi ricordo di te; Se non metto Gerusalemme In capo d’ogni mia allegrezza
7 Who made the great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever.	7 Ricordati, Signore, de’ figliuoli di Edom, I quali, nella giornata di Gerusalemme, Dicevano: Spianate, spianate, Fino a’ fondamenti.
8 The sun to rule over the day: for his mercy endureth for ever.	8 O figliuola di Babilonia, che devi esser distrutta, Beato chi ti farà la retribuzione Del male che tu ci hai fatto!
9 The moon and the stars to rule the night: for his mercy endureth for ever.	9 Beato chi piglierà i tuoi piccoli figliuoli, E li sbatterà al sasso
10 Who smote Egypt with their firstborn: for his mercy endureth for ever.
11 Who brought Israel from among them: for his mercy endureth for ever.
12 With a mighty hand and a stretched out arm: for his mercy endureth for ever.
13 Who divided the Red Sea into parts: for his mercy endureth for ever.
14 And brought out Israel through the midst thereof: for his mercy endureth for ever.
15 And overthrew Pharao and his host in the Red Sea: for his mercy endureth for ever.
16 Who led his people through the desert: for his mercy endureth for ever.
17 Who smote great kings: for his mercy endureth for ever.
18 And slew strong kings: for his mercy endureth for ever.
19 Sehon king of the Amorrhites: for his mercy endureth for ever.
20 And Og king of Basan: for his mercy endureth for ever.
21 And he gave their land for an inheritance: for his mercy endureth for ever.
22 For an inheritance to his servant Israel: for his mercy endureth for ever.
23 For he was mindful of us in our affliction: for his mercy endureth for ever.
24 And he redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy endureth for ever.
25 Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever.
26 Give glory to the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth for ever.
27 Give glory to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever.
