Psalms 126

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

A Song of degrees. When Jehovah turned 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 rejoicing: then said they among the nations, Jehovah hath done great things for them.

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

Jehovah hath done great things for us; [and] we are joyful.

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

Turn our captivity, O Jehovah, as the streams in the south.

5 Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy.

They that sow in tears shall reap with rejoicing:

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

He goeth forth and weepeth, bearing seed for scattering; he cometh again with rejoicing, bearing his sheaves.
