1 ¶ A Song of degrees. When the LORD turned1 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 hath2 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.3
|
|
6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious4 seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
