Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1When the LORD restored the captives of Zion, we were like dreamers.
1Unless the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it. Unless the Lord keep the city, he watcheth in vain that keepeth it.
2Then our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with shouts of joy. Then it was said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”
2It is vain for you to rise before light, rise ye after you have sitten, you that eat the bread of sorrow. When he shall give sleep to his beloved,
3The LORD has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.
3Behold the inheritance of the Lord are children: the reward, the fruit of the womb.
4Restore our captives, O LORD, like streams in the Negev.
4As arrows in the hand of the mighty, so the children of them that have been shaken.
5Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.
5Blessed is the man that hath filled the desire with them; he shall not be confounded when he shall speak to his enemies in the gate.
6He who goes out weeping, bearing a trail of seed, will surely return with shouts of joy, carrying sheaves of grain.
