A Song of degrees. 1 When the LORD turned again 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 heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them. 3 The LORD hath done great things for us; Whereof we are glad. 4 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, As the streams in the south. 5 They that sow in tears Shall reap in joy. 6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. |
