Psalm 126 ©
The church does give God thanks for her wonderful deliverance out of the Babylonian captivity, beseeching Him to perfect His work.
A 1Song of degrees.
WHEN the LORD 2turned again 3the captivity of Zion, we 4were like them that dream.
Thena was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue 5with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things 6for 7them.
The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
8Turn again our captivity, O LORD, 9as the streams 10in the south.
They 11that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
He 12that 13goeth forth and weepeth, bearing 14precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
