Psalms 126

¹ A song of ascents. When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, then we thought we were dreaming.

² Our mouths were filled with laughter; our tongues sang for joy. Then it was said among the nations, "The LORD had done great things for them."

³ The LORD has done great things for us; Oh, how happy we were!

⁴ Restore again our fortunes, LORD, like the dry stream beds of the Negeb.

⁵ Those who sow in tears will reap with cries of joy.

⁶ Those who go forth weeping, carrying sacks of seed, Will return with cries of joy, carrying their bundled sheaves.
