Psalm 126:2-3
The Message
126 1-3 It seemed like a dream, too good to be true,
when God returned Zion’s exiles.
We laughed, we sang,
we couldn’t believe our good fortune.
We were the talk of the nations—
“God was wonderful to them!”
God was wonderful to us;
we are one happy people.
Psalm 126:2-3
Amplified Bible
2
Then our mouth was filled with laughter
And our tongue with joyful shouting;
Then they said among the nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”
3
The Lord has done great things for us;
We are glad!
Psalm 126:2-3
New Living Translation
2 We were filled with laughter,
and we sang for joy.
And the other nations said,
“What amazing things the Lord has done for them.”
3 Yes, the Lord has done amazing things for us!
What joy!
Psalm 126:2-3
New King James Version
2 Then (A)our mouth was filled with laughter,
And our tongue with singing.
Then they said among the [a]nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”
3 The Lord has done great things for us,
And we are glad.
