Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.
Clementine Vulgate
Psalms 125
1Canticum graduum. [In convertendo Dominus captivitatem Sion, facti sumus sicut consolati. 2Tunc repletum est gaudio os nostrum, et lingua nostra exsultatione. Tunc dicent inter gentes: Magnificavit Dominus facere cum eis. 3Magnificavit Dominus facere nobiscum; facti sumus ltantes. 4Converte, Domine, captivitatem nostram, sicut torrens in austro. 5Qui seminant in lacrimis, in exsultatione metent. 6Euntes ibant et flebant, mittentes semina sua. Venientes autem venient cum exsultatione, portantes manipulos suos.]
