Psalms 126

canticum graduum cum converteret Dominus captivitatem Sion facti sumus quasi somniantes

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

tunc implebitur risu os nostrum et lingua nostra laude tunc dicent in gentibus magnificavit Dominus facere cum istis

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.

magnificavit Dominus facere nobiscum facti sumus laetantes

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

converte Domine captivitatem nostram sicut rivum in austro

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

qui seminant in lacrimis in exultatione metent

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

qui ambulans ibat et flebat portans ad seminandum sementem veniens veniet in exultatione portans manipulos suos

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