Psalms 126

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.	1 [Song of Ascents] When Yahweh brought back Zion's captives we lived in a 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.	2 then our mouths fil ed with laughter, and our lips with song. Then the nations kept saying, 'What greatdeeds Yahweh has done for them!'
3 The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.	3 Yes, Yahweh did great deeds for us, and we were overjoyed.
4 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.	4 Bring back, Yahweh, our people from captivity like torrents in the Negeb!
5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.	5 Those who sow in tears sing as they reap.
6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.	6 He went off, went off weeping, carrying the seed. He comes back, comes back singing, bringing inhis sheaves.
