Psalms 126
126
A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem.
1When the Lord brought his people back from captivity to Zion, it was as if we were dreaming!
2We laughed so much, we sang for joy. The other nations said, “The Lord has done wonderful things for these people.”
3The Lord certainly has done wonderful things for us. How happy we were!
4Please return and help us again, Lord. Renew us like streams of water that renew the Negev desert.
5Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy!
6Those who weep as they go out to sow their seed will be singing in celebration when they carry the harvest home.

Psalm 126
A song for going up to worship.
1When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,
it was as if we were dreaming.
2Then our mouths were filled with laughter
and our tongues with joyful songs.
Then the nations said,
“The Lord has done spectacular things for them.”
3The Lord has done spectacular things for us.
We are overjoyed.
4Restore our fortunes, O Lord,
as you restore streams ⌞to dry riverbeds⌟ in the Negev.
5Those who cry while they plant
will joyfully sing while they harvest.
6The person who goes out weeping, carrying his bag of seed,
will come home singing, carrying his bundles of grain.
