Psalms 126

1 A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. When ye Lord brought againe the captiuitie of Zion, we were like them that dreame.

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

2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with ioye: then sayd they among the heathen, 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 vs, whereof we reioyce.

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

4 O Lord, bring againe our captiuitie, as the riuers in the South.

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

5 They that sowe in teares, shall reape in ioy.

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

6 They went weeping and caried precious seede: but they shall returne with ioye and bring their sheaues.

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