Psalms 126

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

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

2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with rejoicing: then said they among the nations, Jehovah hath done great things for them.

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.

3 Jehovah hath done great things for us; [and] we are joyful.

3The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

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

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

5 They that sow in tears shall reap with rejoicing:

5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

6 He goeth forth and weepeth, bearing seed for scattering; he cometh again with rejoicing, bearing his sheaves.

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