Verse KJV King James Version YLT Young's Literal Translation
1
When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream .
A Song of the Ascents. In Jehovah's turning back `to' the captivity of Zion, We have been as dreamers .
2
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 .
Then filled ` with ' laughter is our mouth , And our tongue ` with ' singing , Then do they say among nations , `Jehovah did great things with these . '
3
The LORD hath done great things for us ; whereof we are glad .
Jehovah did great things with us , We have been joyful .
4
Turn again our captivity , O LORD , as the streams in the south.
Turn again, O Jehovah , `to' our captivity, As streams in the south.
5
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
Those sowing in tears , with singing do reap ,
6
He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing , bringing his sheaves with him.
Whoso goeth on and weepeth, Bearing the basket of seed, Surely cometh in with singing , bearing his sheaves !
