They that sow in tears, shall reap in joy.

{A song of the stairs} When the LORD turneth again the captivity of Zion, then were we like unto them that dream.

He that now goeth on his way weeping, and beareth forth good seed, shall doubtless come again with joy, and bring his sheaves with him.

Yea the LORD hath done great things for us already, whereof we rejoice.

Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with joy. Then said they among the heathen, "The LORD hath done great things for them."

Turn our captivity, O LORD, as the rivers in the south.
