Psalms 126

1 A Song of Ascents. When Yahweh brought back the captives of Zion, we were like them who dream:

canticum graduum in convertendo Dominum captivitatem Sion facti sumus sicut consolati

2 Then, was our mouth, filled with laughter, and our tongue with a shout of triumph, —Then, said they among the nations, Yahweh, hath done great things, with these!

tunc repletum est gaudio os nostrum et lingua nostra exultatione tunc dicent inter gentes magnificavit Dominus facere cum eis

3 Yahweh, hath done great things with us, we are full of joy!

magnificavit Dominus facere nobiscum facti sumus laetantes

4 Bring thou back, O Yahweh, our captives, like channels in the South.

converte Domine captivitatem nostram sicut torrens in austro

5 They who are sowing with tears, with shouting, shall reap:

qui seminant in lacrimis in exultatione metent

6 He that, doth indeed go forth, and weep, bearing seed enough to trail along, doth, surely come in, with shouting, bringing his sheaves.

euntes ibant et flebant portantes semina sua venientes autem venient in exultatione portantes manipulos suos
