The Lord hath done great things for his people Israel.

  1 When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

  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.

  3 The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

  4 Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the south.

  5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

  6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
