Psalm 126:1-Psalm 127:1 - Zion's Restoration
1 When the LORD shall turn again the captivity of Zion, we shall be like those that dream. 2 Then our mouth shall be filled with laughter and our tongue with singing; then they shall say among the Gentiles, The LORD has done great things with them. 3 The LORD has done great things with us, of which we shall be glad.
4 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south. 5 Those that sow with tears shall reap with joy. 6 He that goes forth and weeps, bearing the precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
1 Unless the LORD builds the house, they labour in vain that build it; unless the LORD keeps the city, the watchmen watch in vain.
