1377 Psalms 126

126

Thanksgiving for Restoration

A Song of degrees.

When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion,

we were like them that dream.

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.

The Lord hath done great things for us ;

whereof we are glad.

Turn again our captivity, O Lord,

as the streams in the south.

They that sow in tears

shall reap in joy.

He that goeth forth and weepeth,

bearing precious seed,

shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,

bringing his sheaves with him.

127

Prosperity Comes from the Lord

A Song of degrees for Solomon.

Except the Lord build the house,

they labor in vain that build it :

except the Lord keep the city,

the watchman waketh but in vain.

It is vain for you to rise up early,

to sit up late,
