Psalms 126
Reading Psalms chapter 126 in the World English Bible, public-domain text from 2000.
Verses 1–6
1 A Song of Ascents. When the LORD brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.
2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said amongst the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”
3 The LORD has done great things for us, and we are glad.
4 Restore our fortunes again, LORD, like the streams in the Negev.
5 Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.
6 He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.
