Psalms 126

1 A song of ascents. When Yahweh restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream.

2 Then our mouths were filled with laughter and our tongues with singing. Then they said among the nations, “Yahweh has done great things for them.”

3 Yahweh did great things for us; how glad we were!

4 Restore our fortunes, Yahweh, like the streams in the Negev.

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

6 He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will return again with shouts of joy, bringing his bundles of grain with him.
