Psalmorum 126

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

A Song of degrees. When Jehovah turned the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

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 laughter, and our tongue with rejoicing: then said they among the nations, Jehovah hath done great things for them.

3 Magnificavit Dominus facere nobiscum: facti sumus laetantes.

Jehovah hath done great things for us; [and] we are joyful.

4 Converte Domine captivitatem nostram, sicut torrens in Austro.

Turn our captivity, O Jehovah, as the streams in the south.

5 Qui seminant in lacrymis, in exultatione metent.

They that sow in tears shall reap with rejoicing:

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

He goeth forth and weepeth, bearing seed for scattering; he cometh again with rejoicing, bearing his sheaves.
