Psalms 126

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 A song of ascents. When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, then we thought we were dreaming.	1 They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Sion: he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth
2 Our mouths were filled with laughter; our tongues sang for joy. Then it was said among the nations, "The LORD had done great things for them."	2 in Jerusalem. Mountains are round about it: so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth now and for ever.
3 The LORD has done great things for us; Oh, how happy we were!	3 For the Lord will not leave the rod of sinners upon the lot of the just: that the just may not stretch forth their hands to iniquity.
4 Restore again our fortunes, LORD, like the dry stream beds of the Negeb.	4 Do good, O Lord, to those that are good, and to the upright of heart.
5 Those who sow in tears will reap with cries of joy.	5 But such as turn aside into bonds, the Lord shall lead out with the workers of iniquity: peace upon Israel.
6 Those who go forth weeping, carrying sacks of seed, Will return with cries of joy, carrying their bundled sheaves.
