1 W hen the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

2 T hen 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 T he Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

4 T urn again our captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the south.

5 T hey that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

6 H e that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
