Psalms 126
126
A Harvest of Joy
A Song of Ascents.
1When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,#126.1 Or brought back those who returned to Zion
we were like those who dream.
2Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
and our tongue with shouts of joy;
then it was said among the nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”
3The Lord has done great things for us,
and we rejoiced.
4Restore our fortunes, O Lord,
like the watercourses in the Negeb.
5May those who sow in tears
reap with shouts of joy.
6Those who go out weeping,
bearing the seed for sowing,
shall come home with shouts of joy,
carrying their sheaves.

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.
