126 When the Lord returned the captives to 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 back 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.
