Psa 126 | Noyes | STEP | When the LORD brought back the captivity of Zion, We were like them that dream.

‏ Psalms 126

A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.

1 When the LORD brought back 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 nations, "The LORD hath done great things for them!" 3 Yea, the LORD hath done great things for us, For which we are glad. 4 Bring back, O LORD! our captivity, Like streams in the South! 5 They who sow in tears Shall reap in joy. 6 Yea, he goeth forth weeping, bearing his seed; He shall surely come back rejoicing, bearing his sheaves.
