Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.
English Revised Version
Psalms 126
1When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like unto them that dream. 2Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the nations, The LORD hath done great things for them. 3The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad. 4Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the South. 5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. 6Though he goeth on his way weeping, bearing forth the seed; he shall come again with joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
