< 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 Dominum captivitatem Sion facti sumus sicut consolati
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.”
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 laetantes
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 lacrimis 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 portantes semina sua venientes autem venient in exultatione portantes manipulos suos
