Psalms 137

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
1 Of David himself. O Lord, I will confess to you with my whole heart, for you have heard the words of my mouth. I will sing psalms to you in the sight of the Angels.	1 Super flumina Babylonis, illic sedimus et flevimus, cum recordaremur Sion.
2 I will adore before your holy temple, and I will confess your name: it is above your mercy and your truth. For you have magnified your holy name above all.	2 In salicibus in medio eius suspendimus citharas nostras.
3 On whatever day that I will call upon you: hear me. You will multiply virtue in my soul.	3 Quia illic rogaverunt nos, qui captivos duxerunt nos, verba cantionum, et, qui affligebant nos, laetitiam: “ Cantate nobis de canticis Sion ”.
4 May all the kings of the earth confess to you, O Lord. For they have heard all the words of your mouth.	4 Quomodo cantabimus canticum Domini in terra aliena?
5 And let them sing in accordance with the ways of the Lord. For great is the glory of the Lord.	5 Si oblitus fuero tui, Ierusalem, oblivioni detur dextera mea;
6 For the Lord is exalted, and he looks with favor on the humble. But the lofty he knows from a distance.	6 adhaereat lingua mea faucibus meis, si non meminero tui, si non praeposuero Ierusalem in capite laetitiae meae.
7 If I wander into the midst of tribulation, you will revive me. For you extended your hand against the wrath of my enemies. And your right hand has accomplished my salvation.	7 Memor esto, Domine, adversus filios Edom diei Ierusalem; qui dicebant: “ Exinanite, exinanite usque ad fundamentum in ea ”.
8 The Lord will provide retribution on my behalf. O Lord, your mercy is forever. Do not disdain the works of your hands.	8 Filia Babylonis devastans, beatus, qui retribuet tibi retributionem tuam, quam retribuisti nobis;
	9 beatus, qui tenebit et allidet parvulos tuos ad petram.
