Ps 136 (Vulgate)

¹ Psalmus David, Jeremiæ. [Super flumina Babylonis illic sedimus et flevimus, cum recordaremur Sion.
² In salicibus in medio ejus suspendimus organa nostra :
³ quia illic interrogaverunt nos, qui captivos duxerunt nos, verba cantionum ; et qui abduxerunt nos : Hymnum cantate nobis de canticis Sion.
⁴ Quomodo cantabimus canticum Domini in terra aliena ?
⁵ Si oblitus fuero tui, Jerusalem, oblivioni detur dextera mea.
⁶ Adhæreat lingua mea faucibus meis, si non meminero tui ; si non proposuero Jerusalem in principio lætitiæ meæ.
⁷ Memor esto, Domine, filiorum Edom, in die Jerusalem : qui dicunt : Exinanite, exinanite usque ad fundamentum in ea.
⁸ Filia Babylonis misera ! beatus qui retribuet tibi retributionem tuam quam retribuisti nobis.
⁹ Beatus qui tenebit, et allidet parvulos tuos ad petram.]
