The fifth book of Psalms, song 126, Vulgate and King James Version

Psalm 126

Vulgate

   1 Canticum ascensionum. In convertendo Dominus captivitatem Sion, facti sumus quasi somniantes.
   2 Tunc repletum est gaudio os nostrum, et lingua nostra exsultatione. Tunc dicebant inter gentes: "Magnificavit Dominus facere cum eis".
   3 Magnificavit Dominus facere nobiscum; facti sumus laetantes.
   4 Converte, Domine, captivitatem nostram, sicut torrentes in austro.
   5 Qui seminant in lacrimis, in exsultatione metent.
   6 Euntes ibant et flebant semen spargendum portantes; venientes autem venient in exsultatione portantes manipulos suos.

King James Version

   A Song of degrees.
   1 When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
   2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.
   3 The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
   4 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.
   5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
   6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
