Psalms 126

1 When the lord brought back the captivity of Sion, we became like men comforted.

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 gladness; and our tongue with joy. Then shall they say among the Gentiles: 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: we are become joyful.

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

4 Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as a stream 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 Going they went and wept, casting their seeds. But coming they shall come with joyfulness, carrying their sheaves.

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