Lyrics: Psalm 137
Super flumina Babylonis illic sedimus et flevimus, dum recordaremur tui Sion.
In salicibus in medio eius suspendimus organa nostra:
quia illic postulaverunt a nobis, qui captivos duxerunt nos, verba cantionum; in ululato nostro læticiam: Hymnum cantate nobis de canticis Sion.
Quomodo cantabimus canticum Domini in terra aliena?
Si oblitus fuero tui, Ierusalem, oblivioni detur dextera mea.
Adhæreat lingua mea faucibus meis, si non meminero tui; si non proposuero Ierusalem in principio lætitiæ meæ.
Memor esto, Domine, filiorum Edom, in die Ierusalem: qui dicunt: Exinanite, exinanite usque ad fundamentum in ea.
Filia Babylonis misera! beatus qui retribuet tibi retributionem tuam
quam retribuisti nobis.
Beatus qui tenebit, et allidet parvulos tuos ad petram.
By the waters of Babylon we sat down and wept: when we remembered thee, O Sion.
As for our harps, we hanged them up: upon the trees that are therein.
For they that led us away captive required of us then a song, and melody in our heaviness: Sing us one of the songs of Sion.
How shall we sing the Lord's song: in a strange land?
If I forget thee, O Jerusalem: let my right hand forget her cunning.
If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth: yea, if I prefer not Jerusalem in my mirth.
Remember the children of Edom, O Lord, in the day of Jerusalem: how they said, Down with it, down with it, even to the ground.
O daughter of Babylon, wasted with misery: yea, happy shall he be that rewardeth thee, as thou hast served us.
Blessed shall he be that taketh thy children: and throweth them against the stones.
