Psalm 126

¹When the LORD restored the captives of Zion, we were like dreamers.

²Then our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with shouts of joy. Then it was said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”

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

⁴Restore our captives, O LORD, like streams in the Negev.

⁵Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.

⁶He who goes out weeping, bearing a trail of seed, will surely return with shouts of joy, carrying sheaves of grain.
