Psalmorum 126

1 canticum graduum in convertendo Dominum 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 lacrimis in exultatione metent

Those sowing in tears, reap with singing,

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

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