Psalms 126

A Song of Ascents.

¹ When the LORD brought back those who returned to Zion,
we were like those who dream. ² Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
and our tongue with singing.
Then they said among the nations,
“The LORD has done great things for them.” ³ The LORD has done great things for us,
and we are glad. ⁴ Restore our fortunes again, LORD,
like the streams in the Negev. ⁵ Those who sow in tears will reap in joy. ⁶ He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing,
will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.
