## Psalm 125 (Catholic Public Domain Version)

1. A Canticle in steps. When the Lord turned back the captivity of Zion, we became like those who are consoled.
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. The Lord has done great things for us. We have become joyful.
4. Convert our captivity, O Lord, like a torrent in the south.
5. Those who sow in tears shall reap in exultation.
6. When departing, they went forth and wept, sowing their seeds.
7. But when returning, they will arrive with exultation, carrying their sheaves.

## Psalm 125 in Latin (Clementine Vulgate, 1592)

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.
