Psalms 126

1 When Jehovah brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.

When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, Jehovah has done great things for them.

Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD has done great things for them.

3 Jehovah has done great things for us. We are glad.

The LORD has done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

4 Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah, as the streams in the South.

Return our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.

5 Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy.

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

6 He who goes forth and weeps, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves.

He that goes forth and weeps, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
