Psalms 126

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

canticum graduum in convertendo Dominum 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 exultatione 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 laetantes

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 exultatione 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 portantes semina sua venientes autem venient in exultatione portantes manipulos suos
