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.

Psalms 126
126
Zion’s Restoration
A song of ascents.
1When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, # Or Lord returned those of Zion who had been captives
we were like those who dream. # Ps 85:1; Jr 29:14
2Our mouths were filled with laughter then, # Jb 8:21
and our tongues with shouts of joy. # Ps 51:14
Then they said among the nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.” # Ps 71:19
3The Lord had done great things for us;
we were joyful. # Is 25:9
4Restore our fortunes, # Or Return our captives Lord,
like watercourses in the Negev. # Is 35:6; 43:19
5Those who sow in tears
will reap with shouts of joy. # Jr 31:9
6Though one goes along weeping,
carrying the bag of seed,
he will surely come back with shouts of joy,
carrying his sheaves. # Is 35:10; 51:11
