Psalmorum 126

1 Canticum graduum. In convertendo Dominus captivitatem Sion, facti sumus sicut consolati.

A Song of Ascents. When Jehovah brought back those that returned to Zion, We were like unto them that dream.

2 Tunc repletum est gaudio os nostrum, et lingua nostra exsultatione. Tunc dicent inter gentes: Magnificavit Dominus facere cum eis.

Then was our mouth filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing: Then said they among the nations, Jehovah hath done great things for them.

3 Magnificavit Dominus facere nobiscum; facti sumus lætantes.

Jehovah hath done great things for us, [Whereof] we are glad.

4 Converte, Domine, captivitatem nostram, sicut torrens in austro.

Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah, As the streams in the South.

5 Qui seminant in lacrimis, in exsultatione metent.

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

6 Euntes ibant et flebant, mittentes semina sua. Venientes autem venient cum exsultatione, portantes manipulos suos.

He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves [with him].
