1(126) A Song of Degrees. When the Lord turned the captivity of Sion, we became as comforted ones.
1When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
2Then was our mouth filled with joy, and our tongue with exultation: then would they say among the Gentiles,
2Then 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.
3The Lord has done great things among them. The Lord has done great things for us, we became joyful.
3The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
4Turn , O Lord, our captivity, as the streams in the south.
4Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the south.
5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6They went on and wept as they cast their seeds; but they shall surely come with exultation, bringing their sheaves [with them].
6He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
