Psalmorum 126

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

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. In YHWH’s turning back [to] the captivity of Zion, We have been as dreamers.

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

Then our mouth is filled [with] laughter, And our tongue [with] singing, Then they say among nations, “YHWH did great things with these.”

3 Magnificavit Dominus facere nobiscum: facti sumus laetantes.

YHWH did great things with us, We have been joyful.

4 Converte Domine captivitatem nostram, sicut torrens in Austro.

Turn again, O YHWH, [to] our captivity, As streams in the south.

5 Qui seminant in lacrymis, in exultatione metent.

Those sowing in tears, reap with singing,

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

Whoever goes on and weeps, Carrying the basket of seed, Surely comes in with singing, carrying his sheaves!
