 1 A Song of degrees. When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like those who dream. 2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, The Lord has done great things with them. 3 Great things did the Lord to work with us and we are glad. 4 Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the south. 5 Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. 6 One who goes forth and weeps bearing precious seed will doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
