SONGS OF JOY
SONGS OF JOY Psalm 126
When the Lord brought back the exiles of
Sion, we thought we were dreaming.
Then was our mouth filled with laughter;
on our tongue, songs of joy.
Then the nations themselves said,
''what great deeds the Lord worked
for them!'' What great deeds the Lord
worked for us! Indeed, we were glad.
Bring back our exiles, O Lord, as streams
in the south. Those who are sowing
in tears will sing when they reap.
They go out, they go out, full of
tears, bearing seed for the sowing;
they come back, they come back
with a song, bearing their sheaves.
