A song of ascents. When the LORD restored the captives of Zion, we were like dreamers .
When Jehovah brought back those that returned to Zion, We were like unto them that dream .

Then our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with shouts of joy. Then it was said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them. ”
Then was our mouth filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing: Then said they among the nations, Jehovah hath done great things for them.
3
The LORD has done great things for us ; we are filled with joy .
Jehovah hath done great things for us , `Whereof' we are glad .

Restore our captives , O LORD , like streams in the Negev .
Turn again our captivity , O Jehovah , As the streams in the South .

Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

He who goes out weeping , bearing a trail of seed, will surely return with shouts of joy, carrying sheaves of grain .
He that goeth forth and weepeth , bearing seed for sowing , Shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves `with him'. Psalm 127 A Song of Ascents; of Solomon .
