Psalms 127

DOUAI-RHEIMS	VULGATA
1 When the lord brought back the captivity of Sion, we became like men comforted.	1 Canticum graduum. Beati omnes qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis ejus.
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.	2 Labores manuum tuarum quia manducabis : beatus es, et bene tibi erit.
3 The Lord hath done great things for us: we are become joyful.	3 Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans in lateribus domus tuæ ; filii tui sicut novellæ olivarum in circuitu mensæ tuæ.
4 Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as a stream in the south.	4 Ecce sic benedicetur homo qui timet Dominum.
5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.	5 Benedicat tibi Dominus ex Sion, et videas bona Jerusalem omnibus diebus vitæ tuæ.
6 Going they went and wept, casting their seeds.	6 Et videas filios filiorum tuorum : pacem super Israël.
7 But coming they shall come with joyfulness, carrying their sheaves.
