1A Song of degrees. When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. <sup>turned: Heb. returned the returning</sup>

2Then 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. <sup>hath: Heb. hath magnified to do with them</sup>

3The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

4Turn again our captivity , O LORD, as the streams in the south.

5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. <sup>joy: or, singing</sup>

6He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. <sup>precious: or, seed basket</sup>
