Psalms 126

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 [Song of Ascents] When Yahweh brought back Zion's captives we lived in a dream;	1 They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Sion: he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth
2 then our mouths fil ed with laughter, and our lips with song. Then the nations kept saying, 'What greatdeeds Yahweh has done for them!'	2 in Jerusalem. Mountains are round about it: so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth now and for ever.
3 Yes, Yahweh did great deeds for us, and we were overjoyed.	3 For the Lord will not leave the rod of sinners upon the lot of the just: that the just may not stretch forth their hands to iniquity.
4 Bring back, Yahweh, our people from captivity like torrents in the Negeb!	4 Do good, O Lord, to those that are good, and to the upright of heart.
5 Those who sow in tears sing as they reap.	5 But such as turn aside into bonds, the Lord shall lead out with the workers of iniquity: peace upon Israel.
6 He went off, went off weeping, carrying the seed. He comes back, comes back singing, bringing inhis sheaves.
