Psalmus 136

Psalm 136

136:1 Super flúmina Babylónis, illic sédimus et flévimus: * cum recordarémur Sion:
136:2 In salícibus in médio eius, * suspéndimus órgana nostra.
136:3 Quia illic interrogavérunt nos, qui captívos duxérunt nos, * verba cantiónum:
136:3 Et qui abduxérunt nos: * Hymnum cantáte nobis de cánticis Sion.
136:4 Quómodo cantábimus cánticum Dómini * in terra aliéna?
136:5 Si oblítus fúero tui, Ierúsalem, * oblivióni detur déxtera mea.
136:6 Adhǽreat lingua mea fáucibus meis, * si non memínero tui:
136:6 Si non proposúero Ierúsalem, * in princípio lætítiæ meæ.
136:7 Memor esto, Dómine, filiórum Edom, * in die Ierúsalem:
136:7 Qui dicunt: Exinaníte, exinaníte * usque ad fundaméntum in ea.
136:8 Fília Babylónis mísera: * beátus, qui retríbuet tibi retributiónem tuam, quam retribuísti nobis.
136:9 Beátus, qui tenébit, * et allídet párvulos tuos ad petram.

136:1 Above the rivers of Babylon, there we sat and wept: * while we remembered Zion.
136:2 By the willow trees, in their midst, * we hung up our instruments.
136:3 For, in that place, those who led us into captivity questioned us about the words of the songs: *
136:3 And those who carried us away: * Sing for us a hymn from the songs of Zion.
136:4 How can we sing a song of the Lord * in a foreign land?
136:5 If I ever forget you, Jerusalem, * let my right hand be forgotten.
136:6 May my tongue adhere to my jaws, * if I do not remember you:
136:6 If I do not set Jerusalem first, * as the beginning of my joy.
136:7 O Lord, call to mind the sons of Edom, * in the day of Jerusalem:
136:7 Who say: Despoil it, despoil it * even to its foundation.
136:8 O daughter of Babylon, have pity: * blessed is he who will repay you with your payment, which you have paid to us.
136:9 Blessed is he who will take hold, * and dash your little ones against the rock.

137:7 For the Lord is exalted, and he looks with favor on the humble: * but the lofty he knows from a distance.

Capitulum Hymnus Versus

Apo 1:1-2

Significávit Deus, quæ opórtet fíeri cito, loquens per Angelum suum servo suo Ioánni, qui testimónium perhíbuit verbo Dei, et testimónium Iesu Christi, quæcúmque vidit.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, in order to make known to his servants the things that must soon occur, and which he signified by sending his Angel to his servant John; he has offered testimony to the Word of God, and whatever he saw is the testimony of Jesus Christ.

℟ Deo grátias.

℟ Thanks be to God.

Te, splendor et virtus Patris,
Te vita, Iesu, córdium,
Ab ore qui pendent tuo,
Laudámus inter Angelos.

Tibi mille densa míllium
Ducum coróna mílitat;
Sed éxplicat victor Crucem
Míchaël salútis sígnifer.

Dracónis hic dirum caput
In ima pellit tártara,
Ducémque cum rebéllibus
Cælésti ab arce fúlminat.

Contra ducem supérbiæ
Sequámur hunc nos príncipem,
Ut detur ex Agni throno
Nobis coróna glóriæ.

Deo Patri sit glória,
Qui, quos redémit Fílius,
Et Sanctus unxit Spíritus,
Per Angelos custódiat.
Amen.

O Jesu Life, spring of the soul!
The Father's power and glory bright!
thee with the Angels we extol;
From thee they draw their life and light.

Thy thousand thousand hosts are spread
Embattled o'er the azure sky;
But Michael bears thy standard dread,
And lifts the mighty Cross on high.

He in that Sign the rebel power.
Did with their Dragon Prince expel;
And hurled them from the heaven's high towers,
Down like a thunderbolt to hell.

Grant us, with Michael, still, O Lord,
Against the prince of pride to fight;
So may a crown be our reward,
Before the Lamb's pure throne of light.

To God the Father, with the Son
And Holy Paraclete, with thee,
As evermore hath been before,
Be glory through eternity.
Amen.

℣ In conspéctu Angelórum psallam tibi, Deus meus.

℣ In the sight of the Angels I will sing to you, my God.

℟ Adorábo ad templum sanctum tuum, et confitébor nómini tuo.

℟ I will adore toward your holy temple, and I will give praise to your name.
