Psalm 126:1-6
A Song of Ascents.
126 When Yahweh brought back the captives of Zion We were like them who dream:
2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter And our tongue with a shout of triumph,—Then said they among the nations, Yahweh hath done great things with these!
3 Yahweh hath done great things with us, We are full of joy!
4 Bring thou back, O Yahweh, our captives, Like channels in the South.
5 They who are sowing with tears With shouting shall reap:
6 He that doth indeed go forth and weep Bearing seed enough to trail along Doth surely come in with shouting, Bringing his sheaves.
