Psalms 126
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
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!
King James Version (KJV)
1 Ref When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
2 Ref 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 Ref The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
4 Ref Turn again our captivity, O LORD, 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 precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
