Psalms 126

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. In YHWH’s turning back [to] the captivity of Zion, We have been as dreamers.

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

2 Then our mouth is filled [with] laughter, And our tongue [with] singing, Then they say among nations, “YHWH did great things with these.”

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

3 YHWH did great things with us, We have been joyful.

Magnificavit Dominus facere nobiscum: facti sumus laetantes.

4 Turn again, O YHWH, [to] our captivity, As streams in the south.

Converte Domine captivitatem nostram, sicut torrens in Austro.

5 Those sowing in tears, reap with singing,

Qui seminant in lacrymis, in exultatione metent.

6 Whoever goes on and weeps, Carrying the basket of seed, Surely comes in with singing, carrying his sheaves!

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