Psalms 126

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	VULGATA
1 A song of ascents. When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, then we thought we were dreaming.	1 Canticum graduum Salomonis. Nisi Dominus ædificaverit domum, in vanum laboraverunt qui ædificant eam. Nisi Dominus custodierit civitatem, frustra vigilat qui custodit eam.
2 Our mouths were filled with laughter; our tongues sang for joy. Then it was said among the nations, "The LORD had done great things for them."	2 Vanum est vobis ante lucem surgere : surgite postquam sederitis, qui manducatis panem doloris. Cum dederit dilectis suis somnum,
3 The LORD has done great things for us; Oh, how happy we were!	3 ecce hæreditas Domini, filii ; merces, fructus ventris.
4 Restore again our fortunes, LORD, like the dry stream beds of the Negeb.	4 Sicut sagittæ in manu potentis, ita filii excussorum.
5 Those who sow in tears will reap with cries of joy.	5 Beatus vir qui implevit desiderium suum ex ipsis : non confundetur cum loquetur inimicis suis in porta.
6 Those who go forth weeping, carrying sacks of seed, Will return with cries of joy, carrying their bundled sheaves.
