A Song of degrees
. When the LORD
turned again
the captivity
of Zion
, we were like them that dream
.
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.
The LORD hath done
great things
for us; whereof we are glad
.
Turn again our captivity
, O LORD
, as the streams
in the south
.
They that sow in tears
shall reap
in joy
.
He that goeth forth
and weepeth
, bearing
precious
seed
, shall doubtless
come
again with rejoicing
, bringing
his sheaves
with him .
