PSALM 126
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1When Sion's bondage God turn'd back,
as men that dream'd were we.
2Then fill'd with laughter was our mouth,
our tongue with melody:
They 'mong the heathen said, The Lord
great things for them hath wrought.
3The Lord hath done great things for us,
whence joy to us is brought.
4As streams of water in the south,
our bondage, Lord, recall.
5Who sow in tears, a reaping time
of joy enjoy they shall.
6That man who, bearing precious seed,
in going forth doth mourn,
He doubtless, bringing back his sheaves,
rejoicing shall return.

Psalms 126
126
A song for going up to the Temple.
1It will be like a dream
when the Lord comes back with the captives of Zion.#126:1 when … Zion Or “when the Lord restores Zion.” See “Zion” in the Word List.
2We will laugh and sing happy songs!
Then the other nations will say,
“The Lord did a great thing for Zion!”
3Yes, we will be happy
because the Lord did a great thing for us.
4So, Lord, bring back the good times,
like a desert stream filled again with flowing water.
5Then those who were sad when they planted
will be happy when they gather the harvest!
6Those who cried as they carried the seeds#126:6 carried the seeds Or “carried all their possessions.”
will be happy when they bring in the crops!
