Psalm 126
World English Bible

A Song of Ascents.

126 When Yahweh 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,
    “Yahweh has done great things for them.”
3 Yahweh has done great things for us,
    and we are glad.
4 Restore our fortunes again, Yahweh,
    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.

Psalm 126
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

Psalm 126

A Song of [a]Ascents.

1 When the Lord brought back the captives [who returned] to Zion, we were like those who dream [it seemed so unreal].(A)

2 Then were our mouths filled with laughter, and our tongues 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! We are glad!

4 Turn to freedom our captivity and restore our fortunes, O Lord, as the streams in the South (the Negeb) [are restored by the torrents].

5 They who sow in tears shall reap in joy and singing.

6 He who goes forth bearing seed and weeping [at needing his precious supply of grain for sowing] shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
