Book Five (Psalms 107-150) "Concerning God and His Word"

A Song of degrees.


1:   When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion,

we were like them that dream.

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

4:   Turn again our captivity, O LORD,

as the streams in the south.

5:   They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6:   He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
