Psalms 126

1 The Church, celebrating her incredible return out of captivity, 4 prayeth for, and prophesieth the good success thereof.

 126:1 ¶ [[A Song of Ascents.]] When Jehovah brought back those that returned to Zion, We were like unto them that dream.

 126:2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing: Then said they among the nations, Jehovah hath done great things for them.

 126:3 Jehovah hath done great things for us, [Whereof] we are glad.

 126:4 Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah, As the streams in the South.

 126:5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

 126:6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves [with him].
