1O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.
1Psalmus David, Jeremiæ. [Super flumina Babylonis illic sedimus et flevimus, cum recordaremur Sion.
2O give thanks unto the God of gods, for His mercy endureth for ever.
2In salicibus in medio ejus suspendimus organa nostra:
3O give thanks unto the Lord of lords, for His mercy endureth for ever.
3quia illic interrogaverunt nos, qui captivos duxerunt nos, verba cantionum; et qui abduxerunt nos: Hymnum cantate nobis de canticis Sion.
4To Him who alone doeth great wonders, for His mercy endureth for ever.
4Quomodo cantabimus canticum Domini in terra aliena?

5Si oblitus fuero tui, Jerusalem, oblivioni detur dextera mea.
6To Him that spread forth the earth above the waters, for His mercy endureth for ever.
6Adhæreat lingua mea faucibus meis, si non meminero tui; si non proposuero Jerusalem in principio lætitiæ meæ.
7To Him that made great lights, for His mercy endureth for ever;
7Memor esto, Domine, filiorum Edom, in die Jerusalem: qui dicunt: Exinanite, exinanite usque ad fundamentum in ea.

8Filia Babylonis misera ! beatus qui retribuet tibi retributionem tuam quam retribuisti nobis.
