Psalm 126 (English Standard Version)

Restore Our Fortunes, O Lord
A Song of Ascents.
126 When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,
we were like those who dream.
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.”
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!
6
He who goes out weeping,
bearing the seed for sowing,
shall come home with shouts of joy,
bringing his sheaves with him.
