Psalms 126

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

A Song of Ascents. When Jehovah brought back those that returned to Zion, We were like unto them that dream.

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

Then was our mouth filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing: Then said they among the nations, Jehovah hath done great things for them.

3 The LORD hath done great things for us; for which we are glad.

Jehovah hath done great things for us, [Whereof] we are glad.

4 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.

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

5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless return with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves [with him].
