< Psalms 126 >
1 A song of ascents. When the LORD restored the captives of Zion, we were like dreamers.
canticum graduum in convertendo Dominum captivitatem Sion facti sumus sicut consolati
2 Then our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with shouts of joy. Then it was said among the nations, “The LORD has 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 The LORD has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.
magnificavit Dominus facere nobiscum facti sumus laetantes
4 Restore our captives, O LORD, like streams in the Negev.
converte Domine captivitatem nostram sicut torrens in austro
5 Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.
qui seminant in lacrimis in exultatione metent
6 He who goes out weeping, bearing a trail of seed, will surely return with shouts of joy, carrying sheaves of grain.
euntes ibant et flebant portantes semina sua venientes autem venient in exultatione portantes manipulos suos
