Texts & translations

Vulgate (Psalm 125 In convertendo)

Latin text

1 { Canticum graduum. }

   In convertendo Dominus captivitatem Sion, | facti sumus sicut consolati.

2 Tunc repletum est gaudio os nostrum, | et lingua nostra exsultatione. |

   Tunc dicent inter gentes: | Magnificavit Dominus facere cum eis.

3 Magnificavit Dominus facere nobiscum; | facti sumus lætantes.

4 Converte, Domine, captivitatem nostram, | sicut torrens in austro.

5 Qui seminant in lacrimis, | in exsultatione metent.

6 Euntes ibant et flebant, mittentes semina sua. | Venientes autem venient cum exsultatione, portantes manipulos suos.

Church of England 1662 Book of Common Prayer

English text

1 When the Lord turned again the captivity of Sion : then were we like unto them that dream.

2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter : and our tongue with joy.

3 Then said they among the heathen : The Lord hath done great things for them.

4 Yea, the Lord hath done great things for us already : whereof we rejoice.

5 Turn our captivity, O Lord : as the rivers in the south.

6 They that sow in tears : shall reap in joy.

7 He that now goeth on his way weeping, and beareth forth good seed : shall doubtless come again with joy, and bring his sheaves with him.
