| 1 | A Song of degrees. When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. |
| 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. |
| 3 | The LORD hath done great things for us; of which 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. |
| 6 | He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless return with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. |
