[A Song of Degrees.][1]When the Lord turned the captivity of Sion, we became as comforted ones.[2]Then was our mouth filled with joy, and our tongue with exultation: then would they say among the Gentiles,[3]The Lord has done great things among them. The Lord has done great things for us, we became joyful.[4]Turn, O Lord, our captivity, as the steams in the south.[5]They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.[6]They went on and wept as they cast their seeds; but they shall surely come with exultation, bringing their sheaves with them.
