Psalmorum 126

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

A Song of Degrees. When the Lord turned the captivity of Sion, we became as comforted ones.

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

Then was our mouth filled with joy, and our tongue with exultation: then would they say among the Gentiles,

3 Magnificavit Dominus facere nobiscum: facti sumus laetantes.

The Lord has done great things among them. The Lord has done great things for us, we became joyful.

4 Converte Domine captivitatem nostram, sicut torrens in Austro.

Turn, O Lord, our captivity, as the steams in the south.

5 Qui seminant in lacrymis, in exultatione metent.

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

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

They went on and wept as they cast their seeds; but they shall surely come with exultation, bringing their sheaves [with them].
