Psalm 125

The people of God rejoice at their delivery from captivity.

1. 1

   A gradual canticle. When the lord brought back the captivity of Sion, we became like men comforted.

2. 2

   Then was our mouth filled with gladness; and our tongue with joy. Then shall they say among the Gentiles: The Lord hath done great things for them.

3. 3

   The Lord hath done great things for us: we are become joyful.

4. 4

   Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as a stream in the south.

5. 5

   They that sow in tears, shall reap in joy.

6. 6

   Going they went and wept, casting their seeds.

7. 7

   But coming they shall come with joyfulness, carrying their sheaves.
