Psalms 126

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.

(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.
