^{1 Ref} A Song of the Ascents. In Jehovah's turning back `to' the captivity of Zion, We have been as dreamers.

^{2 Ref} Then filled `with' laughter is our mouth, And our tongue `with' singing, Then do they say among nations, `Jehovah did great things with these.'

^{3 Ref} Jehovah did great things with us, We have been joyful.

^{4 Ref} Turn again, O Jehovah, `to' our captivity, As streams in the south.

^{5 Ref} Those sowing in tears, with singing do reap,

^{6 Ref} Whoso goeth on and weepeth, Bearing the basket of seed, Surely cometh in with singing, bearing his sheaves!

^{1 Ref} <A Song of the going up.> When the Lord made a change in Zion's fate, we were like men in a dream.

^{2 Ref} Then our mouths were full of laughing, and our tongues gave a glad cry; they said among the nations, The Lord has done great things for them.

^{3 Ref} The Lord has done great things for us; because of which we are glad.

^{4 Ref} Let our fate be changed, O Lord, like the streams in the South.

^{5 Ref} Those who put in seed with weeping will get in the grain with cries of joy.

^{6 Ref} Though a man may go out weeping, taking his vessel of seed with him; he will come again in joy, with the corded stems of grain in his arms.

^{1 Ref} When Jehovah brought back those that returned to Zion, We were like unto them that dream.

^{2 Ref} Then was our mouth filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing: Then said they among the nations, Jehovah hath done great things for them.

^{3 Ref} Jehovah hath done great things for us, `Whereof' we are glad.

^{4 Ref} Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah, As the streams in the South.

^{5 Ref} They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

^{6 Ref} He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves `with him'. Psalm 127 A Song of Ascents; of Solomon.
