Psalm 126 126 Psalms Book 5 Brenton Septuagint Zion’s Captives Restored 1 Brenton A Song of Degrees. When the Lord turned the captivity of Sion, we became as comforted ones. BSB BSB: A song of ascents. When the LORD restored the captives of Zion, we were like dreamers.
2 Brenton Then was our mouth filled with joy, and our tongue with exultation: then would they say among the Gentiles, BSB BSB: 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.”
3 Brenton The Lord has done great things among them. The Lord has done great things for us, we became joyful. BSB BSB: The LORD has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.
4 Brenton Turn, O Lord, our captivity, as the streams in the south. BSB BSB: Restore our captives, O LORD, like streams in the Negev.
5 Brenton They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. BSB BSB: Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.
6 Brenton They went on and wept as they cast their seeds; but they shall surely come with exultation, bringing their sheaves with them . BSB BSB: He who goes out weeping, bearing a trail of seed, will surely return with shouts of joy, carrying sheaves of grain.
