*A Song of degrees.
1 When the Lord †aturned again the captivity of Zion,
bWe were like them that dream.
2 Then cwas our mouth filled with laughter,
And our tongue with singing:
Then said they among the heathen,
dThe Lord †hath done great things for them.
3 The Lord hath done great things for us;
Whereof we are glad.
4 Turn again our captivity, O Lord,
eAs the streams in fthe south.
5 gThey that sow in tears shall reap in ||joy.
6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing ||hprecious seed,
Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
