1. A gradual canticle.When the lord brought back the captivity of Sion, we became like men comforted.
2. 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.
3. The Lord hath done great things for us: we are become joyful.
4. Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as a stream in the south.
5. They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
