Psalms 126

Thanksgiving for Return from Captivity.

A Song of Ascents.

1When the Lord 1brought back 2the captives of Zion, We were 3like those who dream.2Then our 4mouth was filled with laughter And our 5tongue with joyful shouting; Then they said among the nations, “The Lord has 6done great things for them.”3The Lord has done great things for us; We are 7joyful.

4Restore our fortunes, Lord, As the 89streams in the 10South.5Those who sow in 11tears shall harvest with 12joyful shouting.6One who goes here and there weeping, carrying his bag of seed, Shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
