RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 125

Response: Those who are sowing in tears
will sing when they reap

When the Lord delivered Sion from bondage,
it seemed like a dream.
Then was our mouth filled with laughter,
on our lips there were songs. R.

The heathens themselves said:
"What marvels the Lord worked for them!
What marvels the Lord worked for us!
Indeed we were glad.

Deliver us, O Lord, from our bondage
as streams in dry land.
Those who are sowing in tears
will sing when they reap.

They go out, they go out, full of tears,
carrying seed for the sowing
they come back, they come back, full of song,
carrying their sheaves.
