Psalm 126

New International Version

from Biblica

A song of ascents.

1 When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dreamed. 

2 Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, ‘The Lord has done great things for them.’ 

3 The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy. 

4 Restore our fortunes, Lord, like streams in the Negev. 

5 Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy. 

6 Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them.
