Psalms 126

  1. 1

    A song of ascents. When the Lord restored the well-being of Zion, we thought we were dreaming.

  2. 2

    At that time we laughed loudly and shouted for joy. At that time the nations said, “The Lord has accomplished great things for these people.”

  3. 3

    The Lord did indeed accomplish great things for us. We were happy.

  4. 4

    O Lord, restore our well-being, just as the streams in the arid south are replenished.

  5. 5

    Those who shed tears as they plant will shout for joy when they reap the harvest.

  6. 6

    The one who weeps as he walks along, carrying his bag of seed, will certainly come in with a shout of joy, carrying his sheaves of grain.
