Psalms

Chapter 126

From Captivity to Joy and Fruitful Labor

When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, the people were like those awakening from a dream, their mouths filled with laughter and singing. The heathen said the LORD had done great things for them. Though those who sow in tears shall reap in joy, and the one who goes forth weeping with precious seed shall come again rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

¹When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

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 hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

⁴Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.

⁵They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

⁶He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
