1A gradual canticle.

When the Lord brought back the captivity of Sion, we became like men comforted.

2Then 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.

3The Lord hath done great things for us: we are become joyful.

4Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as a stream in the south.

5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

6Going they went and wept, casting their seeds.

7But coming they shall come with joyfulness, carrying their sheaves.

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,
