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.

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.
