Psalms 126

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

The song of grecis. Whanne the Lord turnede the caitifte of Sion; we weren maad as coumfortid.

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

Thanne oure mouth was fillid with ioye; and oure tunge with ful out ioiyng. Thanne thei schulen seie among hethene men; The Lord magnefiede to do with hem.

3 The LORD has done great things for us, and we are glad.

The Lord magnefiede to do with vs; we ben maad glad.

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

Lord, turne thou oure caitifte; as a stronde in the south.

5 Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

Thei that sowen in teeris; schulen repe in ful out ioiyng.

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

Thei goynge yeden, and wepten; sendynge her seedis. But thei comynge schulen come with ful out ioiyng; berynge her handfullis.
