Psalm 125

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

125 When the lord brought back the captivity of Sion, we became like men comforted.

² Then was our mouth filled with gladness; and our tongue with joy. Then shall they say among the Gentiles: The Lord hath done great things for them.

³ The Lord hath done great things for us: we are become joyful.

⁴ Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as a stream in the south.

⁵ They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

⁶ Going they went and wept, casting their seeds.

⁷ But coming they shall come with joyfulness, carrying their sheaves.
