Psalms

Chapter 125

  1. 1

    When the Lord gave back Sion her banished sons, we walked like men in a dream;

  2. 2

    in every mouth was laughter, joy was on every tongue. Among the heathen themselves it was said, What favour the Lord has shewn them!

  3. 3

    Favour indeed the Lord has shewn us, and our hearts are rejoiced.

  4. 4

    Deliver us, Lord, from our bondage; our withered hopes, Lord, like some desert water-course renew!

  5. 5

    The men who are sowing in tears will reap, one day, with joy.

  6. 6

    Mournful enough they go, but with seed to scatter; trust me, they will come back rejoicing, as they carry their sheaves with them.
