1 {\b A Song of Ascents.}\par\par\tab When Jehovah brought back those that returned to Zion,\par\tab We were like unto them that dream. 2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter,\par\tab And our tongue with singing:\par\tab Then said they among the nations,\par\tab Jehovah hath done great things for them. 3 Jehovah hath done great things for us,\par\tab {\i Whereof} we are glad. 4 Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah,\par\tab As the streams in the South. 5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. 6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing seed for sowing,\par\tab Shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves {\i with him}. |
