Chapter 126 The captivity of Zion

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.
