Psalms 126

1 [A Song of degrees.] When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. {turned...: Heb. returned the returning} 2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them. {hath...: Heb. hath magnified to do with them} 3 The LORD hath done great things for us; {whereof} we are glad. 4 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south. 5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. {joy: or, singing} 6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves {with him}. {precious...: or, seed basket}
