- Chapter 126 -

The captives of Zion restored

1
When the lord brought back the captivity of Sion, we became like men comforted.
2
Then was our mouth filled with gladness; and our tongue with joy. Then shall they say among the Gentiles: The Lord hath done great things for them.
3
The Lord hath done great things for us: we are become joyful.
4
Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as a stream in the south.
5
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6
Going they went and wept, casting their seeds.
7
But coming they shall come with joyfulness, carrying their sheaves.

The captives of Zion restored

1
When the LORD brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.
2
Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations,The LORD has done great things for them.”
3
The LORD has done great things for us, and we are glad.
4
Restore our fortunes again, LORD, like the streams in the Negev.
5
Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.
6
He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.
