Psalms

A Song of Ascents.

126 When Yahweh brought back the captives of Zion We were like them who dream:

2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter And our tongue with a shout of triumph,—Then said they among the nations, Yahweh hath done great things with these!

3 Yahweh hath done great things with us, We are full of joy!

4 Bring thou back, O Yahweh, our captives, Like channels in the South.

5 They who are sowing with tears With shouting shall reap:

6 He that doth indeed go forth and weep Bearing seed enough to trail along Doth surely come in with shouting, Bringing his sheaves.
