< Psalms 126 >
1 A Song of Ascents. When Jehovah brought back those that returned to Zion, We were like unto them that dream.
Canticum graduum. In convertendo Dominus captivitatem Sion: facti sumus sicut consolati:
2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing: Then said they among the nations, Jehovah hath done great things for them.
Tunc repletum est gaudio os nostrum: et lingua nostra exultatione. Tunc dicent inter gentes: Magnificavit Dominus facere cum eis.
3 Jehovah hath done great things for us, [Whereof] we are glad.
Magnificavit Dominus facere nobiscum: facti sumus lætantes.
4 Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah, As the streams in the South.
Converte Domine captivitatem nostram, sicut torrens in Austro.
5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
Qui seminant in lacrymis, in exultatione metent.
6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves [with him].
Euntes ibant et flebant, mittentes semina sua. Venientes autem venient cum exultatione, portantes manipulos suos.
