PSALM 126
A Song of degrees.
1When Jehovah turned the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. 2Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with rejoicing: then said they among the nations, Jehovah hath done great things for them. 3Jehovah hath done great things for us; and we are joyful.
4Turn our captivity, O Jehovah, as the streams in the south. 5They that sow in tears shall reap with rejoicing: 6He goeth forth and weepeth, bearing seed for scattering; he cometh again with rejoicing, bearing his sheaves.

PSALM 126
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1When Sion's bondage God turn'd back,
as men that dream'd were we.
2Then fill'd with laughter was our mouth,
our tongue with melody:
They 'mong the heathen said, The Lord
great things for them hath wrought.
3The Lord hath done great things for us,
whence joy to us is brought.
4As streams of water in the south,
our bondage, Lord, recall.
5Who sow in tears, a reaping time
of joy enjoy they shall.
6That man who, bearing precious seed,
in going forth doth mourn,
He doubtless, bringing back his sheaves,
rejoicing shall return.
