Psalms 126

1 A Song of Ascents. When the LORD brought back those that returned to Zion, we were like unto 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 singing; then said they among the nations: 'The LORD hath done great things with these.'

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 with us; we are rejoiced.

Magnificavit Dominus facere nobiscum: facti sumus laetantes.

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

Converte Domine captivitatem nostram, sicut torrens in Austro.

5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

Qui seminant in lacrymis, in exultatione metent.

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

Euntes ibant et flebant, mittentes semina sua. Venientes autem venient cum exultatione, portantes manipulos suos.
