Psalms 126

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

A Song of Ascents. When the LORD brought back those that returned to Zion, we were like unto them that dream.

2 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.

Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing; then said they among the nations: 'The LORD hath done great things with these.'

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

The LORD hath done great things with us; we are rejoiced.

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

Turn our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the dry land.

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

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

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

Though he goeth on his way weeping that beareth the measure of seed, he shall come home with joy, bearing his sheaves.
