Psalms 126

1 A Song of degrees. When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

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

2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath 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 hath done great things for us; for which we are glad.

Magnificavit Dominus facere nobiscum; facti sumus lætantes.

4 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.

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

5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

Qui seminant in lacrimis, in exsultatione metent.

6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless return with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

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