Psalms 126

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 126 of 150

1 A Song of Ascents. When Jehovah turned back the captivity of Zion, we were like those who dream.

2 Then our mouth was full of laughter, and our tongue gave a ringing cry of joy; then they said among the nations, Jehovah will work great things with these.

3 Jehovah did great things to work with us; we are glad.

4 Turn her captivity again, O Jehovah, like the south streams.
