Psalms 126

1 <A Song of the going up.> When the Lord made a change in Zion's fate, we were like men in a dream.

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

2 Then our mouths were full of laughing, and our tongues gave a glad cry; they said among the nations, The Lord has done great things for them.

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; because of which we are glad.

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

4 Let our fate be changed, O Lord, like the streams in the South.

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

5 Those who put in seed with weeping will get in the grain with cries of joy.

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

6 Though a man may go out weeping, taking his vessel of seed with him; he will come again in joy, with the corded stems of grain in his arms.

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