SACRA PAGINA

§ The Book of Psalms 125

Liber Psalmorum · Parallel

1 When the Lord brought back the captivity of Sion, we became like men comforted.

In convertendo Dominus captivitatem Sion, facti sumus sicut consolati.

2 Then was our mouth filled with gladness; and our tongue with joy. Then shall they say among the Gentiles: 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: we are become joyful.

Magnificavit Dominus facere nobiscum; facti sumus lætantes.

4 Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as a stream 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 Going they went and wept, casting their seeds.

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