136 Psalmus David, Jeremiae. Super flumina Babylonis illic sedimus et flevimus, cum recordaremur Sion.

In salicibus in medio ejus suspendimus organa nostra:

quia illic interrogaverunt nos, qui captivos duxerunt nos, verba cantionum; et qui abduxerunt nos: Hymnum cantate nobis de canticis Sion.

Quomodo cantabimus canticum Domini in terra aliena?

Si oblitus fuero tui, Jerusalem, oblivioni detur dextera mea.

Adhaereat lingua mea faucibus meis, si non meminero tui; si non proposuero Jerusalem in principio laetitiae meae.

Memor esto, Domine, filiorum Edom, in die Jerusalem: 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.
