Psalm 126
In convertendo
1 WHEN the Lord turned again the captivity of Sion * then were we like unto them that dream.
2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter * and our tongue with joy.
3 Then said they among the heathen * The Lord hath done great things for them.
4 Yea, the Lord hath done great things for us already * whereof we rejoice.
5 Turn our captivity, O Lord * as the rivers in the south.
6 They that sow in tears * shall reap in joy.
7 He that now goeth on his way weeping, and beareth forth good seed * shall doubtless come again with joy, and bring his sheaves with him.
