126

A Song of degrees.

1 When 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 singing: then said they among the heathen, The Lord† hath done great things for them.

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

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

5 They that sow in tears shall reap in ∥ joy.

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

[† ] Heb. returned the returning of Zion.

[† ] Heb. hath magnified to do with them.

[∥ ] Or, singing.

[∥ ] Or, seed basket.
