Psalms 126

1 [A Song of Ascents.] When the LORD brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.

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

2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them."

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 for us, and we are glad.

Magnificavit Dominus facere nobiscum: facti sumus lætantes.

4 Restore our fortunes again, LORD, like the streams in the Negev.

Converte Domine captivitatem nostram, sicut torrens in Austro.

5 Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

Qui seminant in lacrymis, in exultatione metent.

6 He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.

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