Latin text

Si oblitus fuero tui, Ierusalem, alleluia,
obliviscatur me dextera tua, alleluia.
Adhereat lingua mea faucibus meis,
si non meminero tui, alleluia.
Super flumina Babilonis,
illic sedimus et flevimus,
dum recordaremur tui, Syon, alleluia.
Hymnum cantate nobis.
Quomodo cantabimus canticum Domini
in terra aliena, alleluia.
Illic interrogaverunt nos
qui captivos duxerunt nos
verba cantionum.
Quomodo cantabimus canticum Domini
in terra aliena, alleluia.

Decantabat populus laudem, alleluia,
et omnis exercitus canebat legitime, alleluia.
Et David cum cantoribus
citharam percutiebat in domo Domini.
Moyses et Aaron in sacerdotibus eius
et Samuel inter eos,
et David cum cantoribus
citharam percutiebat in domo Domini, alleluia.
Bonum est confiteri Domino
et psallere nomini eius
in decacordo psalterio
cum cantico et cithara,
in sono tubæ, in timpano et choro,
in cordis et organo,
in cimbalis bene sonantibus,
in cimbalis iubilationis.
Omnis spiritus laudet Dominum,
alleluia.
