| 1 | When the lord brought back the captivity of Sion, we became like men comforted. | Canticum graduum. In convertendo Dominus captivitatem Sion, facti sumus sicut consolati. | Ὠδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν. Ἐν τῷ ἐπιστρέψαι Κύριον τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν Σιὼν, ἐγενήθημεν ὡσεὶ παρακεκλημένοι. |
| 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. | Τότε ἐπλήσθη χαρᾶς τὸ στόμα ἡμῶν, καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα ἡμῶν ἀγαλλιάσεως· τότε ἐροῦσιν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, ἐμεγάλυνε Κύριος τοῦ ποιῆσαι μετʼ αὐτῶν. |
| 3 | The Lord hath done great things for us: we are become joyful. | Magnificavit Dominus facere nobiscum; facti sumus laetantes. | Ἐμεγάλυνε Κύριος τοῦ ποιῆσαι μεθʼ ἡμῶν, ἐγενήθημεν εὐφραινόμενοι. |
| 4 | Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as a stream in the south. | Converte, Domine, captivitatem nostram, sicut torrens in austro. | Ἐπίστρεψον, Κύριε, τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν ἡμῶν ὡς χειμάῤῥους ἐν τῷ Νότῳ. |
| 5 | They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. | Qui seminant in lacrimis, in exsultatione metent. | Οἱ σπείροντες ἐν δάκρυσιν, ἐν ἀγαλλιάσει θεριοῦσι. |
| 6-7Vg 125:6 · LXX 125:6 | Going they went and wept, casting their seeds. But coming they shall come with joyfulness, carrying their sheaves. | Euntes ibant et flebant, mittentes semina sua. Venientes autem venient cum exsultatione, portantes manipulos suos. | Πορευόμενοι ἐπορεύοντο, καὶ ἔκλαιον βάλλοντες τὰ σπέρματα αὐτῶν· ἐρχόμενοι δὲ ἥξουσιν ἐν ἀγαλλιάσει αἴροντες τὰ δράγματα αὐτῶν. |
