Canticum graduum. In convertendo Dominus captivitatem Sion, facti sumus sicut consolati.
A gradual canticle. When the Lord brought back the captivity of Sion, we became like men comforted.
Tunc repletum est gaudio os nostrum, et lingua nostra exsultatione. Tunc dicent inter gentes : Magnificavit Dominus facere cum eis.
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.
Magnificavit Dominus facere nobiscum ; facti sumus lætantes.
The Lord hath done great things for us: we are become joyful.
Converte, Domine, captivitatem nostram, sicut torrens in austro.
Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as a stream in the south.
Qui seminant in lacrimis, in exsultatione metent.
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
Euntes ibant et flebant, mittentes semina sua. Venientes autem venient cum exsultatione, portantes manipulos suos.
Going they went and wept, casting their seeds.
