King James Version 1769 including Apocrypha

- Chapter 126 -

The captives of Zion restored

1
When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.(a)
2
Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them.(b)
3
The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
4
Turn again our captivity, O Lord , as the streams in the south.
5
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.(c)
6
He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.(d)
