Psalms 125

¹A gradual canticle. When the Lord brought back the captivity of Sion, we became like men comforted. ²Then was our mouth filled with gladness; and our tongue with joy. Then shall they say among the Gentiles: The Lord hath done great things for them. ³The Lord hath done great things for us: we are become joyful. ⁴Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as a stream in the south. ⁵They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. ⁶Going they went and wept, casting their seeds. ⁷But coming they shall come with joyfulness, carrying their sheaves.
