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
The Reversal of Zion’s Fortunes
1A song of ascents.
I
When the Lord restored the captives of Zion,#Ps 14:7.
we thought we were dreaming.
2Then our mouths were filled with laughter;
our tongues sang for joy.#Jb 8:21.
Then it was said among the nations,
“The Lord had done great things for them.”
3The Lord has done great things for us;
Oh, how happy we were!
4Restore our captives, Lord,
like the dry stream beds of the Negeb.#Like the dry stream beds of the Negeb: the psalmist prays for rain in such abundance that the dry riverbeds will run.
II
5Those who sow in tears
will reap with cries of joy.#Bar 4:23; Is 65:19.
6Those who go forth weeping,
carrying sacks of seed,
Will return with cries of joy,
carrying their bundled sheaves.
