Psalm 126

A Song of Ascents.

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

We were like unto them that dream.

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.

³Jehovah hath done great things for us,

Whereof we are glad.

⁴Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah,

As the streams in the South.

⁵They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

⁶He that goeth forth and weepeth, ^abearing seed for sowing,

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