Psalms

Chapter 125

  1. 1

    A Canticle in steps. When the Lord turned back the captivity of Zion, we became like those who are consoled.

  2. 2

    Then our mouth was filled with gladness and our tongue with exultation. Then they will say among the nations: “The Lord has done great things for them.”

  3. 3

    The Lord has done great things for us. We have become joyful.

  4. 4

    Convert our captivity, O Lord, like a torrent in the south.

  5. 5

    Those who sow in tears shall reap in exultation.

  6. 6

    When departing, they went forth and wept, sowing their seeds.

  7. 7

    But when returning, they will arrive with exultation, carrying their sheaves.
