Psalm 126 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

Thanksgiving for Return from Captivity.

Psa 126:1
A Song of Ascents.
When Jehovah brought back those that returned to Zion,
We were like unto them that dream.
Psa 126:2
Then was our mouth filled with laughter,
And our tongue with singing:
Then said they among the nations,
Jehovah hath done great things for them.
Psa 126:3
Jehovah hath done great things for us,
Whereof we are glad.
Psa 126:4
Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah,
As the streams in the South.
Psa 126:5
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
Psa 126:6
He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing seed for sowing,
Shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
