Psalm 126

126:1

A song of ascents. When the LORD restored the captives of Zion, we were like dreamers.

126:2

Then our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with shouts of joy. Then it was said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”

126:3

The LORD has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.

126:4

Restore our captives, O LORD, like streams in the Negev.

126:5

Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.

126:6

He who goes out weeping, bearing a trail of seed, will surely return with shouts of joy, carrying sheaves of grain.
