PSALM 126
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1When Sion's bondage God turn'd back,
as men that dream'd were we.
2Then fill'd with laughter was our mouth,
our tongue with melody:
They 'mong the heathen said, The Lord
great things for them hath wrought.
3The Lord hath done great things for us,
whence joy to us is brought.
4As streams of water in the south,
our bondage, Lord, recall.
5Who sow in tears, a reaping time
of joy enjoy they shall.
6That man who, bearing precious seed,
in going forth doth mourn,
He doubtless, bringing back his sheaves,
rejoicing shall return.

Psalms 126
126
A Song of Ascents.
1When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion,
We were like unto them that dream.
2Then 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.
3The LORD hath done great things for us;
Whereof we are glad.
4Turn again our captivity, O LORD,
As the streams in the South.
5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6Though he goeth on his way weeping, bearing forth the seed;
He shall come again with joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
