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.

Psalms 126
126
A Prayer for Deliverance
1When the LORD brought us back to Jerusalem,#126.1 brought us back to Jerusalem; or made Jerusalem prosperous again.
it was like a dream!
2How we laughed, how we sang for joy!
Then the other nations said about us,
“The LORD did great things for them.”
3Indeed he did great things for us;
how happy we were!
4 LORD, make us prosperous again,#126.4 make… again; or take us back to our land.
just as the rain brings water back to dry riverbeds.
5Let those who wept as they sowed their seed,
gather the harvest with joy!
6Those who wept as they went out carrying the seed
will come back singing for joy,
as they bring in the harvest.
