< Psalms 126 >
1 When the lord brought back the captivity of Sion, we became like men comforted.
canticum graduum in convertendo Dominum captivitatem Sion facti sumus sicut consolati
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.
tunc repletum est gaudio os nostrum et lingua nostra exultatione tunc dicent inter gentes magnificavit Dominus facere cum eis
3 The Lord hath done great things for us: we are become joyful.
magnificavit Dominus facere nobiscum facti sumus laetantes
4 Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as a stream in the south.
converte Domine captivitatem nostram sicut torrens in austro
5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
qui seminant in lacrimis in exultatione metent
6 Going they went and wept, casting their seeds. But coming they shall come with joyfulness, carrying their sheaves.
euntes ibant et flebant portantes semina sua venientes autem venient in exultatione portantes manipulos suos
