Psalm 126

English Standard Version

Restore Our Fortunes, O Lord

1 A Song of Ascents. When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream. (Ps 14:7; Ps 120:1; Ac 12:9) 2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.” (Job 8:21; Ps 71:19) 3 The Lord has done great things for us; we are glad. 4 Restore our fortunes, O Lord, like streams in the Negeb! 5 Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy! (Ezr 6:22; Ne 12:43; Jer 31:9; Hag 2:3; Ga 6:9)

Ezr 6:22Ne 12:43Jer 31:9Hag 2:3Ga 6:9

6 He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.

Psalm 126

Segond 21

from Société Biblique de Genève

Prière pour la restauration d'Israël

1 Chant des montées. Quand l'Eternel a ramené les déportés de Sion, nous étions pareils à ceux qui font un rêve. 2 Alors notre bouche était remplie de rires, et notre langue poussait des cris de joie. Alors on disait parmi les nations: «L'Eternel a fait de grandes choses pour eux!» 3 Oui, l'Eternel a fait de grandes choses pour nous, et nous sommes dans la joie. 4 Eternel, ramène nos déportés comme tu ramènes les ruisseaux dans le Néguev! 5 Ceux qui sèment avec larmes moissonneront dans la joie, 6 celui qui marche en pleurant avec un sac de semence reviendra avec joie en portant ses gerbes.
