« | Psalm 126 | » |
1 A Song of Degrees. When the Lord turned the captivity of Zion, we became as those that are comforted.
2 Then was our mouth filled with joy, and our tongue with exaltation; then would they say among the Gentiles, The Lord has done great things among them.
3 The Lord has done great things for us, we became joyful.
4 Turn, O Lord, our captivity, as the streams in the south.
5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6 They went on and wept as they cast their seeds; but they shall surely come with exaltation, bringing their sheaves [with them].
