Psalms 126

1 [the] song of The ascents when restored Yahweh [the] restoration of Zion we were like [those who] dream.

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. When the Lord brought his people back from captivity to Zion, it was as if we were dreaming!

2 Then it was filled laughter mouth our and tongue our a shout of joy then people said among the nations he has made great Yahweh to do with these [people].

We laughed so much, we sang for joy. The other nations said, “The Lord has done wonderful things for these people.”

3 He has made great Yahweh to do with us we were joyful.

The Lord certainly has done wonderful things for us. How happy we were!

4 Turn back! O Yahweh (captivity our *Q(k)*) like stream-beds in the Negev.

Please return and help us again, Lord. Renew us like streams of water that renew the Negev desert.

5 Those [who] sow with tear[s] with a shout of joy they will reap.

Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy!

6 Certainly he will go - and weeping carrying bag of seed certainly he will come with a shout of joy carrying sheaves his.

Those who weep as they go out to sow their seed will be singing in celebration when they carry the harvest home.
