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 exsultatione. 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 lacrimis, in exsultatione 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 exsultatione, portantes manipulos suos.
