• 1. {A Song of degrees.}<br>
    When Jehovah turned the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
  • 2. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with rejoicing: then said they among the nations, Jehovah hath done great things for them.
  • 3. Jehovah hath done great things for us; [and] we are joyful.
  • 4. Turn our captivity, O Jehovah, as the streams in the south.
  • 5. They that sow in tears shall reap with rejoicing:
  • 6. He goeth forth and weepeth, bearing seed for scattering; he cometh again with rejoicing, bearing his sheaves.
