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.
Geneva Bible 1599
Psalms 126
1A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. When ye Lord brought againe the captiuitie of Zion, we were like them that dreame. 2Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with ioye: then sayd they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them. 3The Lord hath done great things for vs, whereof we reioyce. 4O Lord, bring againe our captiuitie, as the riuers in the South. 5They that sowe in teares, shall reape in ioy. 6They went weeping and caried precious seede: but they shall returne with ioye and bring their sheaues.
