Psalm 126

A Song of Ascents.

126 When Yahweh brought back those who returned to Zion,

    we were like those who dream.

2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter,

    and our tongue with singing.

Then they said among the nations,

    “Yahweh has done great things for them.”

3 Yahweh has done great things for us,

    and we are glad.

4 Restore our fortunes again, Yahweh,

    like the streams in the Negev.

5 Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

6 He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing,

    will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.
