Psalmorum 126

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

A Song of Ascents. When Yahweh brought back the captives of Zion, we were like them who dream:

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

Then, was our mouth, filled with laughter, and our tongue with a shout of triumph, —Then, said they among the nations, Yahweh, hath done great things, with these!

3 magnificavit Dominus facere nobiscum facti sumus laetantes

Yahweh, hath done great things with us, we are full of joy!

4 converte Domine captivitatem nostram sicut torrens in austro

Bring thou back, O Yahweh, our captives, like channels in the South.

5 qui seminant in lacrimis in exultatione metent

They who are sowing with tears, with shouting, shall reap:

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

He that, doth indeed go forth, and weep, bearing seed enough to trail along, doth, surely come in, with shouting, bringing his sheaves.
