Psalms 126

1 A Song of the going up. When the Lord made a change in Zion's fate, we were like men in a dream.

Canticum graduum. In convertendo Dominus captivitatem Sion, facti sumus sicut consolati.

2 Then our mouths were full of laughing, and our tongues gave a glad cry; they said among the nations, The Lord has done great things for them.

Tunc repletum est gaudio os nostrum, et lingua nostra exsultatione. Tunc dicent inter gentes: Magnificavit Dominus facere cum eis.

3 The Lord has done great things for us; because of which we are glad.

Magnificavit Dominus facere nobiscum; facti sumus lætantes.

4 Let our fate be changed, O Lord, like the streams in the South.

Converte, Domine, captivitatem nostram, sicut torrens in austro.

5 Those who put in seed with weeping will get in the grain with cries of joy.

Qui seminant in lacrimis, in exsultatione metent.

6 Though a man may go out weeping, taking his vessel of seed with him; he will come again in joy, with the corded stems of grain in his arms.

Euntes ibant et flebant, mittentes semina sua. Venientes autem venient cum exsultatione, portantes manipulos suos.
