Psalms 126

1 “A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” When the LORD brought back 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, “The LORD hath done great things for them!”

3 Yea, the LORD hath done great things for us, For which we are glad.

4 Bring back, O LORD! our captivity, Like streams in the South!

5 They who sow in tears Shall reap in joy.

6 Yea, he goeth forth weeping, bearing his seed; He shall surely come back rejoicing, bearing his sheaves.
