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

Psalms 126
126
A Song of Ascents.
1When Jehovah brought back those that returned to Zion,
We were like unto them that dream.
2Then was our mouth filled with laughter,
And our tongue with singing:
Then said they among the nations,
Jehovah hath done great things for them.
3Jehovah hath done great things for us,
Whereof we are glad.
4Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah,
As the streams in the South.
5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing seed for sowing,
Shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
