Psalmorum 126

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

When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that 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 singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD has done great things for them.

3 magnificavit Dominus facere nobiscum facti sumus laetantes

The LORD has done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

4 converte Domine captivitatem nostram sicut torrens in austro

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

5 qui seminant in lacrimis in exultatione metent

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

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

He that goes forth and weeps, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
