Psalms 126
126
A Song of Ascents.
1When Jehovah brought back those that returned to Zion,
We were like unto them that dream.
2Then was our mouth filled with laughter,
And our tongue with singing:
Then said they among the nations,
Jehovah hath done great things for them.
3Jehovah hath done great things for us,
Whereof we are glad.
4Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah,
As the streams in the South.
5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing seed for sowing,
Shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves with him.

Psalms 126
126
(A song for worship.)
Celebrating the Harvest
1It seemed like a dream
when the Lord brought us back
to the city of Zion.#126.1 brought … Zion: Or “made the city of Zion prosperous again.”
2We celebrated with laughter
and joyful songs.
In foreign nations it was said,
“The Lord has worked miracles
for his people.”
3And so we celebrated
because the Lord had indeed
worked miracles for us.
4Our Lord, we ask you to bless
our people again,
and let us be like streams
in the Southern Desert.
5We cried as we went out
to plant our seeds.
Now let us celebrate
as we bring in the crops.
6We cried on the way
to plant our seeds,
but we will celebrate and shout
as we bring in the crops.
