< Psalms 126 >
1 A Song of the Ascents. In Jehovah's turning back [to] the captivity of Zion, We have been as dreamers.
Canticum graduum. In convertendo Dominus captivitatem Sion, facti sumus sicut consolati.
2 Then filled [with] laughter is our mouth, And our tongue [with] singing, Then do they say among nations, 'Jehovah did great things with these.'
Tunc repletum est gaudio os nostrum, et lingua nostra exsultatione. Tunc dicent inter gentes: Magnificavit Dominus facere cum eis.
3 Jehovah did great things with us, We have been joyful.
Magnificavit Dominus facere nobiscum; facti sumus lætantes.
4 Turn again, O Jehovah, [to] our captivity, As streams in the south.
Converte, Domine, captivitatem nostram, sicut torrens in austro.
5 Those sowing in tears, with singing do reap,
Qui seminant in lacrimis, in exsultatione metent.
6 Whoso goeth on and weepeth, Bearing the basket of seed, Surely cometh in with singing, bearing his sheaves!
Euntes ibant et flebant, mittentes semina sua. Venientes autem venient cum exsultatione, portantes manipulos suos.
