Psalm 126

Psalm 125 Psalm 127

Psalm 126 New International Version (NIV)

Psalm 126

A song of ascents.

¹When the Lord restored the fortunes of^[a] Zion,
    we were like those who dreamed.^[b]
²Our mouths were filled with laughter,
    our tongues with songs of joy.
Then it was said among the nations,
    “The Lord has done great things for them.”
³The Lord has done great things for us,
    and we are filled with joy.

⁴Restore our fortunes,^[c] Lord,
    like streams in the Negev.
⁵Those who sow with tears
    will reap with songs of joy.
⁶Those who go out weeping,
    carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy,
    carrying sheaves with them.
