< Psalms 126 >
1 A Song of Ascents. When the LORD turned again the captivity of 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 for them.
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 for us; [whereof] we are glad.
Magnificavit Dominus facere nobiscum: facti sumus lætantes.
4 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the South.
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, bearing forth the seed; he shall come again with joy, bringing his sheaves [with him].
Euntes ibant et flebant, mittentes semina sua. Venientes autem venient cum exultatione, portantes manipulos suos.
