Psal. 126. In convertendo.
Canticum Graduum.
1
When Sion (Babels captive) thencethe Lord did home redeeme:
Our ravisht hopes, scarce trusting sense,
we were like them that dreame.
2
Our mouth was fill'd with laughter, thenfor joy no tongue but sings:
The Heath'ns could say, for these good men.
the Lord hath done great things.
3
Great things indeed, and many too,for us, as well appeares;
The Lord hath magnifi'd, to doe,
to joy hath turn'd our teares.
4
Turne, Lord, as welcome showres of raine,refresh the Deserts drouth;
264
like Torrents from the South.
5
They that in furrowes fill'd with teares,the seed of sorrow sowe,
When Harvest comes of laden eares,
a joyfull crop shall mowe.
6
He going goes, and weeps to see,what deere-bought seed he leaves:
Home-comming comes, as joyfull he,
and (shouting) beares his sheaves.
