Psalm 126
New Life Version

A Prayer for Help

126 It was like a dream when the Lord brought back to Zion those who had been held in another land. 2 Then we laughed with our mouths, and we sang with our tongues. Then it was 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 Bring back our people, O Lord, like the rivers in the South. 5 Those who plant with tears will gather fruit with songs of joy. 6 He who goes out crying as he carries his bag of seed will return with songs of joy as he brings much grain with him.

English Standard Version

Restore Our Fortunes, O Lord

A Song of (A)Ascents.

126 When the Lord (B)restored the fortunes of Zion,
    we were like those who (C)dream.
2 Then our (D)mouth was filled with laughter,
    and our tongue with shouts of joy;
then they said among the nations,
    (E)“The Lord has done great things for them.”
3 The Lord has done great things for us;
    we are glad.

4 Restore our fortunes, O Lord,
    like streams in the Negeb!
5 (F)Those who sow in tears
    shall reap with shouts of joy!
6 He who goes out weeping,
    bearing the seed for sowing,
shall come home with shouts of joy,
    bringing his sheaves with him.

Salmos 126
Nueva Biblia Viva

Cántico de los peregrinos.

126 Cuando el Señor hizo volver a Sion a los cautivos, ¡fue como un sueño! 2 ¡Cómo reímos y cantamos de júbilo! y las demás naciones decían: «¡El Señor ha hecho grandes cosas por ellos!».

3 Sí, el Señor ha hecho cosas maravillosas por nosotros, ¡qué alegría! 4 Haz volver a nuestros cautivos como haces volver los arroyos al desierto. 5 Los que siembran con lágrimas cosecharán con alegría. 6 Plantarán llorando sus semillas, y regresarán cantando, trayendo su cosecha.
