Psalms 126

1 A Song of Ascents. When the LORD brought back those that returned to Zion, we were like unto them that dream.

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 singing; then said they among the nations: 'The LORD hath done great things with these.'

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 with us; we are rejoiced.

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

4 Turn our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the dry land.

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 Though he goeth on his way weeping that beareth the measure of seed, he shall come home with joy, bearing his sheaves.

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