Psalmus 136. (3a)		Psalm 136.
136:1.	Super flúmina Babylónis, illic sédimus et flévimus : * cum recordarémur Sion :	1.	Upon the rivers of Babylon, there we sat and wept: * when we remembered Sion:
136:2.	In salícibus in médio ejus, * suspéndimus órgana nostra.	2.	On the willows in the midst thereof * we hung up our instruments.
136:3.	Quia illic interrogavérunt nos, qui captívos duxérunt nos, * verba cantiónum :	3.	For there they that led us into captivity required of us * the words of songs.
136:4.	Et qui abduxérunt nos : * Hymnum cantáte nobis de cánticis Sion.	4.	And they that carried us away, said: * Sing ye to us a hymn of the songs of Sion.
136:5.	Quómodo cantábimus cánticum Dómini * in terra aliéna?	5.	How shall we sing the song of the Lord * in a strange land?
136:6.	Si oblítus fúero tui, Jerúsalem, * oblivióni detur déxtera mea.	6.	If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, * let my right hand be forgotten.
136:7.	Adhæreat lingua mea fáucibus meis, * si non memínero tui :	7.	Let my tongue cleave to my jaws, * if I do not remember thee:
136:8.	Si non proposúero Jerúsalem, * in princípio lætítiæ meæ.	8.	If I make not Jerusalem * the beginning of my joy.
136:9.	Memor esto, Dómine, filiórum Edom, * in die Jerúsalem :	9.	Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom, * in the day of Jerusalem:
136:10.	Qui dicunt : Exinaníte, exinaníte * usque ad fundaméntum in ea.	10.	Who say: Rase it, rase it, * even to the foundation thereof.
136:11.	Fília Babylónis mísera : * beátus, qui retríbuet tibi retributiónem tuam, quam retribuísti nobis.	11.	O daughter of Babylon, miserable: * blessed shall he be who shall repay thee thy payment which thou hast paid us.
136:12.	Beátus, qui tenébit, * et allídet párvulos tuos ad petram.	12.	Blessed be he that shall take * and dash thy little ones against the rock.
V.	Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.	V.	Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R.	Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.	R.	As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
