A Song of Degrees. When the Lord turned the captivity of Sion, we became as comforted ones.
Ὠδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν. Ἐν τῷ ἐπιστρέψαι Κύριον τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν Σιὼν, ἐγενήθημεν ὡσεὶ παρακεκλημένοι.

6 Brenton verses
Then was our mouth filled with joy, and our tongue with exultation: then would they say among the Gentiles,
Τότε ἐπλήσθη χαρᾶς τὸ στόμα ἡμῶν, καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα ἡμῶν ἀγαλλιάσεως· τότε ἐροῦσιν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, ἐμεγάλυνε Κύριος τοῦ ποιῆσαι μετʼ αὐτῶν.
The Lord has done great things among them. The Lord has done great things for us, we became joyful.
Ἐμεγάλυνε Κύριος τοῦ ποιῆσαι μεθʼ ἡμῶν, ἐγενήθημεν εὐφραινόμενοι.
Turn, O Lord, our captivity, as the streams in the south.
Ἐπίστρεψον, Κύριε, τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν ἡμῶν ὡς χειμάῤῥους ἐν τῷ Νότῳ.
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
Οἱ σπείροντες ἐν δάκρυσιν, ἐν ἀγαλλιάσει θεριοῦσι.
They went on and wept as they cast their seeds; but they shall surely come with exultation, bringing their sheaves with them.
Πορευόμενοι ἐπορεύοντο, καὶ ἔκλαιον βάλλοντες τὰ σπέρματα αὐτῶν· ἐρχόμενοι δὲ ἥξουσιν ἐν ἀγαλλιάσει αἴροντες τὰ δράγματα αὐτῶν.
