Psalms 126

1 A Song of Degrees. When the Lord turned the captivity of Sion, we became as comforted ones.

Canticum graduum. In convertendo Dominus captivitatem Sion, facti sumus sicut consolati.

2 Then was our mouth filled with joy, and our tongue with exultation: then would they say among the Gentiles,

Tunc repletum est gaudio os nostrum, et lingua nostra exsultatione. Tunc dicent inter gentes: Magnificavit Dominus facere cum eis.

3 The Lord has done great things among them. The Lord has done great things for us, we became joyful.

Magnificavit Dominus facere nobiscum; facti sumus lætantes.

4 Turn, O Lord, our captivity, as the steams 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 exsultatione metent.

6 They went on and wept as they cast their seeds; but they shall surely come with exultation, bringing their sheaves [with them].

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