Psalms 126

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

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

2 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.

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.

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

The LORD hath done great things for us; [whereof] we are glad.

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

Turn again our captivity, O LORD, 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 seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves [with him].

He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves [with him].
