Psalm 126

In convertendo
1
When the Lord turned again the captivity of Sion  *
then were we like unto them that dream.
2
Then was our mouth filled with laughter *
and our tongue with joy.
3
Then said they among the heathen *
The Lord hath done great things for them.
4
Yea, the Lord hath done great things for us already *
whereof we rejoice.
5
Turn our captivity, O Lord *
as the rivers in the south.
6
They that sow in tears *
shall reap in joy.
7
He that now goeth on his way weeping, and beareth forth good seed *
shall doubtless come again with joy, and bring his sheaves with him.
