Psalmorum 126

1 canticum graduum in convertendo Dominum captivitatem Sion facti sumus sicut consolati

A song of ascents. When the LORD restored the captives of Zion, we were like dreamers.

2 tunc repletum est gaudio os nostrum et lingua nostra exultatione tunc dicent inter gentes magnificavit Dominus facere cum eis

Then our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with shouts of joy. Then it was said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”

3 magnificavit Dominus facere nobiscum facti sumus laetantes

The LORD has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.

4 converte Domine captivitatem nostram sicut torrens in austro

Restore our captives, O LORD, like streams in the Negev.

5 qui seminant in lacrimis in exultatione metent

Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.

6 euntes ibant et flebant portantes semina sua venientes autem venient in exultatione portantes manipulos suos

He who goes out weeping, bearing a trail of seed, will surely return with shouts of joy, carrying sheaves of grain.
