< Psalms 126 >
1 When YHWH turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
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 heathen, YHWH 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 has done great things for them.
3 YHWH hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
The LORD has done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
4 Turn again our captivity, O YHWH, as the streams in the south.
Return 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 precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
He that goes forth and weeps, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
