Psalmes 126

P S A L. CXXV.

1 The safety of such as trust in God. 4 A prayer for the godly, and against the wicked.

¶ A song of degrees.

CXXVI ¶ They that trust in the LORD, shalbe as mount Zion, which cannot be remooued, but abideth for euer. 2 As the mountaines are round about Ierusalem, so the LORD is round about his people: from hencefoorth euen for euer. 3 [fn]For the rod of the wicked shall not rest vpon the lot of the righteous: lest the righteous put forth their hands vnto iniquitie. 4 Doe good, O LORD, vnto those that be good: and to them that are vpright in their hearts. 5 As for such as turne aside vnto their crooked wayes, the LORD shall lead them foorth with the workers of iniquitie: but peace shalbe vpon Israel.

P S A L. CXXVI.

1 The Church celebrating her incredible returne out of captiuitie, 4 prayeth for, and prophecieth the good successe thereof.

¶ [fn]A song of degrees.

CXXVI ¶ When the LORD turned againe the captiuitie of Zion: wee were like them that dreame. 2 [fn]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 vs: whereof we are glad. 4 Turne againe our captiuitie, O LORD: as the streames in the South. 5 [fn]They that sow in teares: shall reape in ioy. 6 [fn]He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtlesse come againe with reioycing: bringing his sheaues with him.
