The Psalms

Psalm 126

A Song of Ascents.

 ^126:1When Jehovah brought back those that returned to Zion,

 We were like unto them that dream.

 ^126:2Then was our mouth filled with laughter,

 And our tongue with singing:

 Then said they among the nations,

 Jehovah hath done great things for them.

 ^126:3Jehovah hath done great things for us,

 Whereof we are glad.

 ^126:4Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah,

 As the streams in the South.

 ^126:5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

 ^126:6He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing seed for sowing,

 Shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
