1 super flumina Babylonis ibi sedimus et flevimus
cum recordaremur Sion
2 super salices in medio eius suspendimus citharas nostras
3 quoniam ibi interrogaverunt nos qui captivos duxerunt nos
verba carminis
et qui adfligebant nos
laeti canite nobis de canticis Sion
4 quomodo cantabimus canticum Domini in terra aliena
5 si oblitus fuero tui Hierusalem in oblivione sit dextera mea
6 adhereat lingua mea gutturi meo si non recordatus fuero tui
si non praeposuero Hierusalem
in principio laetitiae meae
7 memento Domine filiorum Edom
in diem Hierusalem
dicentium evacuate evacuate usque ad fundamentum eius
8 filia Babylon vastata
beatus qui retribuet tibi vicissitudinem tuam quam retribuisti nobis
9 beatus qui tenebit et adlidet parvulos tuos ad petram
