KJV ¹ When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

VULC ¹ Canticum graduum Salomonis. [Nisi Dominus ædificaverit domum,
in vanum laboraverunt qui ædificant eam.
Nisi Dominus custodierit civitatem,
frustra vigilat qui custodit eam.

KJV 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.

VULC ² Vanum est vobis ante lucem surgere :
surgite postquam sederitis,
qui manducatis panem doloris.
Cum dederit dilectis suis somnum,

KJV ³ The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

VULC ³ ecce hæreditas Domini, filii ;
merces, fructus ventris.

KJV ⁴ Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.

VULC ⁴ Sicut sagittæ in manu potentis,
ita filii excussorum.

KJV ⁵ They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

VULC ⁵ Beatus vir qui implevit desiderium suum ex ipsis :
non confundetur cum loquetur inimicis suis in porta.]

KJV ⁶ He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
