Psalm 126

Zion’s Restoration

A song of ascents.

1 When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,[a]
we were like those who dream.(A)
2 Our mouths were filled with laughter then,(B)
and our tongues with shouts of joy.(C)
Then they said among the nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”(D)
3 The Lord had done great things for us;
we were joyful.(E)

4 Restore our fortunes,[b] Lord,
like watercourses in the Negev.(F)
5 Those who sow in tears
will reap with shouts of joy.(G)
6 Though one goes along weeping,
carrying the bag of seed,
he will surely come back with shouts of joy,
carrying his sheaves.(H)

A Song of Ascents.

126 When the Lord (A)brought back [a]the captives of Zion,

As the [b](G)streams in the [c]South.

Shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
