126. "Sow in Tears . . . Reap in Joy"
Psa 126:1
<A Song of degrees.> When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.Psa 126:2
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.Psa 126:3
The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.Psa 126:4
Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.Psa 126:5
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.Psa 126:6
He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
