Psalms 126

1 When the lord brought back the captivity of Sion, we became like men comforted.

The song of grecis. Whanne the Lord turnede the caitifte of Sion; we weren maad as coumfortid.

2 Then was our mouth filled with gladness; and our tongue with joy. Then shall they say among the Gentiles: The Lord hath done great things for them.

Thanne oure mouth was fillid with ioye; and oure tunge with ful out ioiyng. Thanne thei schulen seie among hethene men; The Lord magnefiede to do with hem.

3 The Lord hath done great things for us: we are become joyful.

The Lord magnefiede to do with vs; we ben maad glad.

4 Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as a stream in the south.

Lord, turne thou oure caitifte; as a stronde in the south.

5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

Thei that sowen in teeris; schulen repe in ful out ioiyng.

6 Going they went and wept, casting their seeds. But coming they shall come with joyfulness, carrying their sheaves.

Thei goynge yeden, and wepten; sendynge her seedis. But thei comynge schulen come with ful out ioiyng; berynge her handfullis.
