Psalms 126

World English Bible British Edition · Berean Standard Bible

126:1
When the LORD brought back those who returned to Zion,
A song of ascents. When the LORD restored the captives of Zion (note: Or brought back the captives to Zion or restored the fortunes of Zion), we were like dreamers (note: Or like those restored to health).
126:2
Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
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,
The LORD has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.
126:4
Restore our fortunes again, LORD,
Restore our captives (note: Or Restore our fortunes), O LORD, like streams in the Negev.
126:5
Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.
Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.
126:6
He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing,
He who goes out weeping, bearing a trail of seed, will surely return with shouts of joy, carrying sheaves of grain.
