Psalm 126
126
1 A Canticle in steps: of Solomon. Unless the Lord has built the house, those who build it have labored in vain. Unless the Lord has guarded the city, he who guards it watches in vain.
2 It is in vain that you rise before daylight, that you rise up after you have sat down, you who chew the bread of sorrow. Whereas, to his beloved, he will give sleep.
3 Behold, the inheritance of the Lord is sons, the reward is the fruit of the womb.
4 Like arrows in the hand of the powerful, so are the sons of those who have been cast out.
5 Blessed is the man who has filled his desire from these things. He will not be confounded when he speaks to his enemies at the gate.

Psalm 126
126
Restore Our Fortunes, O Lord
A Song of #[See Ps. 120, title]Ascents.
1When the Lord #See Ps. 14:7 restored the fortunes of Zion,
we were like those who #[Acts 12:9]dream.
2Then our #Job 8:21 mouth was filled with laughter,
and our tongue with shouts of joy;
then they said among the nations,
# See Ps. 71:19 “The Lord has done great things for them.”
3The Lord has done great things for us;
we are glad.
4Restore our fortunes, O Lord,
like streams in the Negeb!
5 # [Ezra 6:22; Neh. 12:43; Jer. 31:9; Gal. 6:9]; See Hag. 2:3-9 Those who sow in tears
shall reap with shouts of joy!
6He who goes out weeping,
bearing the seed for sowing,
shall come home with shouts of joy,
bringing his sheaves with him.
