Psalmi 136-138
Biblia Sacra Vulgata
136 Psalmus David, Jeremiae. Super flumina Babylonis illic sedimus et flevimus, cum recordaremur Sion.
2 In salicibus in medio ejus suspendimus organa nostra:
3 quia illic interrogaverunt nos, qui captivos duxerunt nos, verba cantionum; et qui abduxerunt nos: Hymnum cantate nobis de canticis Sion.
4 Quomodo cantabimus canticum Domini in terra aliena?
5 Si oblitus fuero tui, Jerusalem, oblivioni detur dextera mea.
6 Adhaereat lingua mea faucibus meis, si non meminero tui; si non proposuero Jerusalem in principio laetitiae meae.
7 Memor esto, Domine, filiorum Edom, in die Jerusalem: qui dicunt: Exinanite, exinanite usque ad fundamentum in ea.
8 Filia Babylonis misera! beatus qui retribuet tibi retributionem tuam quam retribuisti nobis.
9 Beatus qui tenebit, et allidet parvulos tuos ad petram.
137 Ipsi David. Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo, quoniam audisti verba oris mei. In conspectu angelorum psallam tibi;
2 adorabo ad templum sanctum tuum, et confitebor nomini tuo: super misericordia tua et veritate tua; quoniam magnificasti super omne, nomen sanctum tuum.
3 In quacumque die invocavero te, exaudi me; multiplicabis in anima mea virtutem.
4 Confiteantur tibi, Domine, omnes reges terrae, quia audierunt omnia verba oris tui.
5 Et cantent in viis Domini, quoniam magna est gloria Domini;
6 quoniam excelsus Dominus, et humilia respicit, et alta a longe cognoscit.
7 Si ambulavero in medio tribulationis, vivificabis me; et super iram inimicorum meorum extendisti manum tuam, et salvum me fecit dextera tua.
8 Dominus retribuet pro me. Domine, misericordia tua in saeculum; opera manuum tuarum ne despicias.
138 In finem, psalmus David. Domine, probasti me, et cognovisti me;
2 tu cognovisti sessionem meam et resurrectionem meam.
3 Intellexisti cogitationes meas de longe; semitam meam et funiculum meum investigasti:
4 et omnes vias meas praevidisti, quia non est sermo in lingua mea.
5 Ecce, Domine, tu cognovisti omnia, novissima et antiqua. Tu formasti me, et posuisti super me manum tuam.
6 Mirabilis facta est scientia tua ex me; confortata est, et non potero ad eam.
7 Quo ibo a spiritu tuo? et quo a facie tua fugiam?
8 Si ascendero in caelum, tu illic es; si descendero in infernum, ades.
9 Si sumpsero pennas meas diluculo, et habitavero in extremis maris,
10 etenim illuc manus tua deducet me, et tenebit me dextera tua.
11 Et dixi: Forsitan tenebrae conculcabunt me; et nox illuminatio mea in deliciis meis.
12 Quia tenebrae non obscurabuntur a te, et nox sicut dies illuminabitur: sicut tenebrae ejus, ita et lumen ejus.
13 Quia tu possedisti renes meos; suscepisti me de utero matris meae.
14 Confitebor tibi, quia terribiliter magnificatus es; mirabilia opera tua, et anima mea cognoscit nimis.
15 Non est occultatum os meum a te, quod fecisti in occulto; et substantia mea in inferioribus terrae.
16 Imperfectum meum viderunt oculi tui, et in libro tuo omnes scribentur. Dies formabuntur, et nemo in eis.
17 Mihi autem nimis honorificati sunt amici tui, Deus; nimis confortatus est principatus eorum.
18 Dinumerabo eos, et super arenam multiplicabuntur. Exsurrexi, et adhuc sum tecum.
19 Si occideris, Deus, peccatores, viri sanguinum, declinate a me:
20 quia dicitis in cogitatione: Accipient in vanitate civitates tuas.
21 Nonne qui oderunt te, Domine, oderam, et super inimicos tuos tabescebam?
22 Perfecto odio oderam illos, et inimici facti sunt mihi.
23 Proba me, Deus, et scito cor meum; interroga me, et cognosce semitas meas.
24 Et vide si via iniquitatis in me est, et deduc me in via aeterna.
