Psalm 125

Select Translation

1 A Song of Degrees. When the Lord turned the captivity of Zion, We became as comforted ones.

2 Then was our mouth filled with joy, And our tongue with exultation: Then would they say among the Gentiles,

3 The Lord has done great things among them. The Lord has done great things for us, We became joyful.

4 Turn, O Lord, our captivity, As the streams in the south.

5 They that sow in tears Shall reap in joy.

6 They went on and wept As they cast their seeds; But they shall surely come with exultation, Bringing their sheaves with them.
