Psalm 126
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.
Psalm 127
1. EXCEPT the
LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD
keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
2. It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread
of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.
3. Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb
is his reward.
4. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the
youth.
5. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be
ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
Psalm 128
1. BLESSED is
every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.
2. For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be,
and it shall be well with thee.
3. Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy
children like olive plants round about thy table.
4. Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.
5. The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of
Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6. Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.
