Zion’s Captives Restored

1(125:1) A Song of Degrees. When the Lord turned the captivity of Sion, we became as comforted ones.

2(125:2) Then was our mouth filled with joy, and our tongue with exultation: then would they say among the Gentiles,

3(125:3) The Lord has done great things among them. The Lord has done great things for us, we became joyful.

4(125:4) Turn, O Lord, our captivity, as the steams in the south.

5(125:5) They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

6(125:6) They went on and wept as they cast their seeds; but they shall surely come with exultation, bringing their sheaves with them.
