1 Cuando Yavé devuelva a los cautivos de Sion, Seremos como los que sueñan.
1 Cántico gradual. CUANDO Jehová hiciere tornar la cautividad de Sión, seremos como los que sueñan.
1 A Song of Ascents. When Yahweh brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.
2 Entonces nuestras bocas se llenarán de risa, Y nuestras lenguas de alabanza. Entonces dirán entre las naciones: ¡Grandes cosas hizo Yavé por éstos!
2 Entonces nuestra boca se henchirá de risa, y nuestra lengua de alabanza; entonces dirán entre las gentes: Grandes cosas ha hecho Jehová con éstos.
2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, “Yahweh has done great things for them.”
3 ¡Yavé hizo grandes cosas por nosotros! ¡Estamos alegres!
3 Grandes cosas ha hecho Jehová con nosotros; estaremos alegres.
3 Yahweh has done great things for us, and we are glad.
4 Devuelve a nuestros cautivos, oh Yavé, Como los torrentes en el Neguev.
4 Haz volver nuestra cautividad, oh Jehová, como los arroyos en el austro.
4 Restore our fortunes again, Yahweh, like the streams in the Negev.
5 Los que siembran con lágrimas Con regocijo segarán.
5 Los que sembraron con lágrimas, con regocijo segarán.
5 Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.
6 El que va de un lado a otro llorando Y lleva el saco de semilla, Ciertamente volverá con regocijo Y traerá sus manojos.
6 Irá andando y llorando el que lleva la preciosa simiente; [mas] volverá á venir con regocijo, trayendo sus gavillas.
6 He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm CXXV)

    "They that put their trust in the Lord shall be even as the mount Sion: they shall not be removed for ever" (ver. 1). 3. Who are these? "They shall stand fast for ever, who dwell in Jerusalem" (ver. 2).

  2. Quotes verse 126:5 Augustine of Hippo, Tractates on the Gospel of John (Chapter IV — 1-42)

    Of that harvest it is said, "They that sow in tears shall reap with joy." But to that harvest not apostles, but angels, shall be sent forth.

  3. Quotes verse 126:5 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture IV)

    … by abstaining from wine and flesh, not because we abhor them as abominations, but because we look for our reward; that having scorned things sensible, we may enjoy a spiritual and intellectual feast; and that having now sown in tears we may reap in joy in the world to come.
