< Psalmorum 126 >

1 Canticum graduum. In convertendo Dominus captivitatem Sion: facti sumus sicut consolati:
A Song of the Ascents. In Jehovah'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 filled [with] laughter is our mouth, And our tongue [with] singing, Then do they say among nations, 'Jehovah did great things with these.'
3 Magnificavit Dominus facere nobiscum: facti sumus laetantes.
Jehovah did great things with us, We have been joyful.
4 Converte Domine captivitatem nostram, sicut torrens in Austro.
Turn again, O Jehovah, [to] our captivity, As streams in the south.
5 Qui seminant in lacrymis, in exultatione metent.
Those sowing in tears, with singing do reap,
6 Euntes ibant et flebant, mittentes semina sua. Venientes autem venient cum exultatione, portantes manipulos suos.
Whoso goeth on and weepeth, Bearing the basket of seed, Surely cometh in with singing, bearing his sheaves!
