Salmi 137

LA SACRA BIBBIA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Lungo i fiumi di Babilonia là sedevamo in pianto, ricordandoci di Sion.	1 Praise the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2 Sospese ai pioppi di quella terra tenevamo le nostre cetre.	2 Praise ye the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever.
3 Sì, là ci chiesero parole di canto quelli che ci avevano deportati, canzoni di giubilo quelli che ci tenevano oppressi: "Cantateci dei canti di Sion".	3 Praise ye the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever.
4 Come cantare i canti del Signore in terra straniera?	4 Who alone doth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.
5 Se mi dimenticassi di te, Gerusalemme, s'inaridisca la mia destra;	5 Who made the heavens in understanding: for his mercy endureth for ever.
6 s'attacchi al palato la mia lingua, se non mi ricordassi di te; se non ponessi Gerusalemme al di sopra di ogni mia gioia.	6 Who established the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever.
7 Ricòrdati, Signore, contro i figli di Edom, che nel giorno di Gerusalemme dicevano: "Radete, radete al suolo, fin dalle fondamenta!".	7 Who made the great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever.
8 Figlia di Babilonia, votata alla distruzione: beato chi ti ricambierà quanto hai fatto a noi!	8 The sun to rule over the day: for his mercy endureth for ever.
9 Beato chi prenderà i tuoi piccoli e li sbatterà contro la roccia!	9 The moon and the stars to rule the night: for his mercy endureth for ever.
	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.
