Chapter Summary

A Song of Ascent celebrating return from captivity when mouths were filled with laughter. The nations said the Lord has done great things for them. The psalm prays for full restoration, using the image of those who sow in tears reaping in joy and returning with sheaves.

1When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

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.

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.

6He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
