¹(126) A Song of Degrees. When the Lord turned the captivity of Sion, we became as comforted ones.

¹A Song of Ascents. Those who trust in Yahweh are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.

²Then was our mouth filled with joy, and our tongue with exultation: then would they say among the Gentiles,

²As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so Yahweh surrounds his people from this time forward and forever more.

³The Lord has done great things among them. The Lord has done great things for us, we became joyful.

³For the scepter of wickedness won’t remain over the allotment of the righteous, so that the righteous won’t use their hands to do evil.

⁴Turn, O Lord, our captivity, as the streams in the south.

⁴Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.

⁵They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

⁵But as for those who turn away to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.
