Zion’s Captives Restored Ps 126:1–6
1 A song of ascents. When the LORD restored the captives of Zionᵃ, we were like dreamersᵇ.
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.”
3 The LORD has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.
4 Restore our captivesᶜ, O LORD, like streams in the Negev.
5 Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.
6 He who goes out weeping, bearing a trail of seed, will surely return with shouts of joy, carrying sheaves of grain.
