Psalm 126:1-Psalm 127:1 - Zion's Restoration
1 A Song of degrees. When Jehovah turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like those who dream. 2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing; then they said among the nations, Jehovah has done great things with them. 3 Great things did Jehovah to work with us and we are glad.
4 Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah, as the streams in the south. 5 Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. 6 He who goes forth and weeps, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
1 A Song of degrees for Solomon. Unless Jehovah builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless Jehovah keeps the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.
