A Song of Ascents.
1 When theLordturned again the captivity of Zion, we were like unto them that dream.
2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the nations, TheLordhath done great things for them.
3 TheLordhath done great things for us;whereofwe are glad.
4 Turn again our captivity, OLord, as the streams in the South.
5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6 Though he goeth on his way weeping, bearing forth the seed; he shall come again with joy, bringing his sheaveswith him.
