Psalms 137

KING JAMES BIBLE	VULGATA
1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.	1 Ipsi David. Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo, quoniam audisti verba oris mei. In conspectu angelorum psallam tibi ;
2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.	2 adorabo ad templum sanctum tuum, et confitebor nomini tuo : super misericordia tua et veritate tua ; quoniam magnificasti super omne, nomen sanctum tuum.
3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.	3 In quacumque die invocavero te, exaudi me ; multiplicabis in anima mea virtutem.
4 How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?	4 Confiteantur tibi, Domine, omnes reges terræ, quia audierunt omnia verba oris tui.
5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.	5 Et cantent in viis Domini, quoniam magna est gloria Domini ;
6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.	6 quoniam excelsus Dominus, et humilia respicit, et alta a longe cognoscit.
7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.	7 Si ambulavero in medio tribulationis, vivificabis me ; et super iram inimicorum meorum extendisti manum tuam, et salvum me fecit dextera tua.
8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.	8 Dominus retribuet pro me. Domine, misericordia tua in sæculum ; opera manuum tuarum ne despicias.
9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
