ΨΑΛΜΟΙ - Salmi - Psalms 125

LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 ωδη των αναβαθμων εν τω επιστρεψαι κυριον την αιχμαλωσιαν σιων εγενηθημεν ως παρακεκλημενοι	1 A Canticle in steps. When the Lord turned back the captivity of Zion, we became like those who are consoled.
2 τοτε επλησθη χαρας το στομα ημων και η γλωσσα ημων αγαλλιασεως τοτε ερουσιν εν τοις εθνεσιν εμεγαλυνεν κυριος του ποιησαι μετ' αυτων	2 Then our mouth was filled with gladness and our tongue with exultation. Then they will say among the nations: “The Lord has done great things for them.”
3 εμεγαλυνεν κυριος του ποιησαι μεθ' ημων εγενηθημεν ευφραινομενοι	3 The Lord has done great things for us. We have become joyful.
4 επιστρεψον κυριε την αιχμαλωσιαν ημων ως χειμαρρους εν τω νοτω	4 Convert our captivity, O Lord, like a torrent in the south.
5 οι σπειροντες εν δακρυσιν εν αγαλλιασει θεριουσιν	5 Those who sow in tears shall reap in exultation.
6 πορευομενοι επορευοντο και εκλαιον αιροντες τα σπερματα αυτων ερχομενοι δε ηξουσιν εν αγαλλιασει αιροντες τα δραγματα αυτων	6 When departing, they went forth and wept, sowing their seeds.
	7 But when returning, they will arrive with exultation, carrying their sheaves.
