< Psalms 126 >
1 A Song of degrees. When Jehovah turned the captivity of Zion, we were like 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 rejoicing: 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; [and] we are joyful.
Magnificavit Dominus facere nobiscum: facti sumus lætantes.
4 Turn 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 with rejoicing:
Qui seminant in lacrymis, in exultatione metent.
6 He goeth forth and weepeth, bearing seed for scattering; he cometh again with rejoicing, bearing his sheaves.
Euntes ibant et flebant, mittentes semina sua. Venientes autem venient cum exultatione, portantes manipulos suos.
