Psal. 126. In convertendo.

Canticum Graduum.

1

When Sion (Babels captive) thence
the Lord did home redeeme:
Our ravisht hopes, scarce trusting sense,
we were like them that dreame.

2

Our mouth was fill'd with laughter, then
for 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

Our captive Remnant turne againe,
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.
