Psalms 126

1 song [the] step in/on/with to return: rescue LORD [obj] captivity Zion to be like/as to dream

When Yahweh brought [us Israeli people] back to Jerusalem (OR, enabled us Israelis to prosper again), [it was wonderful]; it seemed as though [SIM] we were dreaming.

2 then to fill laughter lip our and tongue our cry then to say in/on/with nation to magnify LORD to/for to make: do with these

We were extremely happy, and we [SYN] continued shouting joyfully. Then the [other] people-groups said about us, “Yahweh has done great things for them!”

3 to magnify LORD to/for to make: do with us to be glad

[And we say, “Yes], Yahweh [truly] has done great things for us, and we are [very] happy.”

4 to return: rescue [emph?] LORD [obj] (captivity our *Q(k)*) like/as channel in/on/with Negeb

Yahweh, when it rains, water flows in the streams again [after they were dry] [SIM]. Similarly, enable our nation to become great again like it was before.

5 [the] to sow in/on/with tears in/on/with cry to reap

We cried when we planted [seeds because it was hard work preparing the soil that had not been plowed for many years]; [now we want to] shout joyfully because we are gathering a [big] harvest.

6 to go: went to go: went and to weep to lift: bear bag/price [the] seed to come (in): come to come (in): come in/on/with cry to lift: bear sheaf his

Those who cried as they carried the [bags of] seeds [to the fields] will shout joyfully when they bring the crops [to their houses at harvest time].
