Psalm 126
HCSB Parallel ESV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
Holman Christian Standard BibleEnglish Standard Version
1A song of ascents. When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream. 1When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream.
2Our mouths were filled with laughter then, and our tongues with shouts of joy. Then they said among the nations," The LORD has done great things for them." 2Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”
3The LORD had done great things for us; we were joyful. 3The LORD has done great things for us; we are glad.
4Restore our fortunes, LORD, like watercourses in the Negev. 4Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like streams in the Negeb!
5Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy. 5Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy!
6Though one goes along weeping, carrying the bag of seed, he will surely come back with shouts of joy, carrying his sheaves. 6He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
