Douay-Rheims
Vulgata
1
Upon
the
rivers
of
Babylon,
there
we
sat
and
wept:
when
we
remembered
Sion:
1
Psalmus
David,
Jeremiæ.
Super
flumina
Babylonis
illic
sedimus
et
flevimus,
cum
recordaremur
Sion.
2
On
the
willows
in
the
midst
thereof
we
hung
up
our
instruments.
2
In
salicibus
in
medio
ejus
suspendimus
organa
nostra:
3
For
there
they
that
led
us
into
captivity
required
of
us
the
words
of
songs.
And
they
that
carried
us
away,
said:
Sing
ye
to
us
a
hymn
of
the
songs
of
Sion.
3
quia
illic
interrogaverunt
nos,
qui
captivos
duxerunt
nos,
verba
cantionum;
et
qui
abduxerunt
nos:
Hymnum
cantate
nobis
de
canticis
Sion.
4
How
shall
we
sing
the
song
of
the
Lord
in
a
strange
land?
4
Quomodo
cantabimus
canticum
Domini
in
terra
aliena?
5
If
I
forget
thee,
O
Jerusalem,
let
my
right
hand
be
forgotten.
5
Si
oblitus
fuero
tui,
Jerusalem,
oblivioni
detur
dextera
mea.
6
Let
my
tongue
cleave
to
my
jaws,
if
I
do
not
remember
thee:
If
I
make
not
Jerusalem
the
beginning
of
my
joy.
6
Adhæreat
lingua
mea
faucibus
meis,
si
non
meminero
tui;
si
non
proposuero
Jerusalem
in
principio
lætitiæ
meæ.
7
Remember,
O
Lord,
the
children
of
Edom,
in
the
day
of
Jerusalem:
Who
say:
Rase
it,
rase
it,
even
to
the
foundation
thereof.
7
Memor
esto,
Domine,
filiorum
Edom,
in
die
Jerusalem:
qui
dicunt:
Exinanite,
exinanite
usque
ad
fundamentum
in
ea.
8
O
daughter
of
Babylon,
miserable:
blessed
shall
he
be
who
shall
repay
thee
thy
payment
which
thou
hast
paid
us.
8
Filia
Babylonis
misera!
beatus
qui
retribuet
tibi
retributionem
tuam
quam
retribuisti
nobis.
9
Blessed
be
he
that
shall
take
and
dash
thy
little
ones
against
the
rock.
9
Beatus
qui
tenebit,
et
allidet
parvulos
tuos
ad
petram.
