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

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)
