Psalms 137
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
1Ipsi David. [Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo, quoniam audisti verba oris mei. In conspectu angelorum psallam tibi;
2We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
2adorabo ad templum sanctum tuum, et confitebor nomini tuo: super misericordia tua et veritate tua; quoniam magnificasti super omne, nomen sanctum tuum.
3For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying , Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
3In quacumque die invocavero te, exaudi me; multiplicabis in anima mea virtutem.
4How shall we sing the LORD’s song in a strange land?
4Confiteantur tibi, Domine, omnes reges terræ, quia audierunt omnia verba oris tui.
5If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning .
5Et cantent in viis Domini, quoniam magna est gloria Domini;
6If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
6quoniam excelsus Dominus, et humilia respicit, et alta a longe cognoscit.
7Remember, O LORD , the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it , rase it, even to the foundation thereof.
7Si ambulavero in medio tribulationis, vivificabis me; et super iram inimicorum meorum extendisti manum tuam, et salvum me fecit dextera tua.
8O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be , that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
8Dominus retribuet pro me. Domine, misericordia tua in sæculum; opera manuum tuarum ne despicias.]
9Happy shall he be , that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
