CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
1 A Psalm of David: to Jeremiah. Above the rivers of Babylon, there we sat and wept, while we remembered Zion.	1 ALLELUIA. Confitemini Domino, quoniam bonus, quoniam in aeternum misericordia eius.
2 By the willow trees, in their midst, we hung up our instruments.	2 Confitemini Deo deorum, quoniam in aeternum misericordia eius.
3 For, in that place, those who led us into captivity questioned us about the words of the songs. And those who carried us away said: “Sing us a hymn from the songs of Zion.”	3 Confitemini Domino dominorum, quoniam in aeternum misericordia eius.
4 How can we sing a song of the Lord in a foreign land?	4 Qui facit mirabilia magna solus, quoniam in aeternum misericordia eius.
5 If I ever forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand be forgotten.	5 Qui fecit caelos in intellectu, quoniam in aeternum misericordia eius.
6 May my tongue adhere to my jaws, if I do not remember you, if I do not set Jerusalem first, as the beginning of my joy.	6 Qui expandit terram super aquas, quoniam in aeternum misericordia eius.
7 O Lord, call to mind the sons of Edom, in the day of Jerusalem, who say: “Despoil it, despoil it, even to its foundation.”	7 Qui fecit luminaria magna, quoniam in aeternum misericordia eius:
8 O daughter of Babylon, have pity. Blessed is he who will repay you with your payment, which you have paid to us.	8 solem, ut praeesset diei, quoniam in aeternum misericordia eius;
9 Blessed is he who will take hold of your little ones and dash them against the rock.	9 lunam et stellas, ut praeessent nocti, quoniam in aeternum misericordia eius.
	10 Qui percussit Aegyptum in primogenitis eorum, quoniam in aeternum misericordia eius.

	20 et Og regem Basan, quoniam in aeternum misericordia eius.
	21 Et dedit terram eorum hereditatem, quoniam in aeternum misericordia eius,
	22 hereditatem Israel servo suo, quoniam in aeternum misericordia eius.
