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.
137:8 If I wander into the midst of tribulation, you will revive me: * and you extended your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand saved me.

Capitulum Hymnus Versus

Iac 1:12

Beátus vir, qui suffert tentatiónem: quóniam cum probátus fúerit, accípiet corónam vitæ, quam repromísit Deus diligéntibus se.

Blessed is the man who suffers temptation. For when he has been proven, he shall receive the crown of life which God has promised to those who love him.

℟ Deo grátias.

℟ Thanks be to God.

Deus tuórum mílitum
Sors, et córona, prǽmium,
Laudes canéntes Mártyris
Absólve nexu críminis.

Hic nempe mundi gáudia,
Et blanda fraudum pábula
Imbúta felle députans,
Pervénit ad cæléstia.

Pœnas cucúrrit fórtiter,
Et sústulit viríliter,
Fundénsque pro te sánguinem,
Ætérna dona póssidet.

Ob hoc precátu súpplici
Te póscimus, piíssime;
In hoc triúmpho Mártyris
Dimítte noxam sérvulis.

Laus et perénnis glória
Patri sit, atque Fílio,
Sancto simul Paráclito,
In sempitérna sǽcula.
Amen.

O God, of those that fought thy fight,
Portion, and prize, and crown of light,
Break every bond of sin and shame
As now we praise thy martyr's name.

He recked not of the world's allure,
But sin and pomp of sin forswore:
Knew all their gall, and passed them by,
And reached the throne prepared on high.

Bravely the course of pain he ran,
And bare his torments as a man:
For love of thee his blood outpoured,
And thus obtained the great reward.

With humble voice and suppliant word
We pray thee therefore, holy Lord,
While we thy martyr's feast-day keep,
Forgive thy loved and erring sheep.

Glory and praise for aye be done
To God the Father, and the Son,
And Holy Ghost, who reign on high,
One God, to all eternity.
Amen.

℣ Iustus ut palma florébit.

℣ The just man shall flourish like a palm tree.

℟ Sicut cedrus Líbani multiplicábitur.
