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.
