Psalms 137

1 At [the] rivers of - Babylon there we sat also we wept when remembered we Zion.

Psalmus David, Jeremiæ. [Super flumina Babylonis illic sedimus et flevimus, cum recordaremur Sion.

2 On poplars in [the] midst of it we hung up harps our.

In salicibus in medio ejus suspendimus organa nostra:

3 For there they asked us captors our words of a song and mockers our gladness sing for us one of [the] song[s] of Zion.

quia illic interrogaverunt nos, qui captivos duxerunt nos, verba cantionum; et qui abduxerunt nos: Hymnum cantate nobis de canticis Sion.

4 How? will we sing [the] song of Yahweh on ground of foreignness.

Quomodo cantabimus canticum Domini in terra aliena?

5 If I will forget you O Jerusalem may it forget right [hand] my.

Si oblitus fuero tui, Jerusalem, oblivioni detur dextera mea.

6 May it cleave tongue my - to palate my if not I will remember you if not I will lift up Jerusalem above [the] chief of joy my.

Adhæreat lingua mea faucibus meis, si non meminero tui; si non proposuero Jerusalem in principio lætitiæ meæ.

7 Remember O Yahweh - to [the] people of Edom [the] day of Jerusalem who were saying lay bare - lay bare to the foundation in it.

Memor esto, Domine, filiorum Edom, in die Jerusalem: qui dicunt: Exinanite, exinanite usque ad fundamentum in ea.

8 O daughter of Babylon that is about to be destroyed how blessed! [is one] who he will repay to you dealing your that you dealt to us.

Filia Babylonis misera! beatus qui retribuet tibi retributionem tuam quam retribuisti nobis.

9 How blessed! - [is one] who he will seize and he will smash children your to the rock.

Beatus qui tenebit, et allidet parvulos tuos ad petram.]
