Psalmorum 126

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

[A Song of Ascents.] When the LORD brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.

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

Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they 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, and we are glad.

4 converte Domine captivitatem nostram sicut torrens in austro

Restore our fortunes again, LORD, like the streams in the Negev.

5 qui seminant in lacrimis in exultatione metent

Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

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

He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.
