Psalm 126
KJV Parallel ESV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
King James BibleEnglish Standard Version
1A Song of degrees. When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.1When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream.
2Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath 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 hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.3The LORD has done great things for us; we are glad.
4Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.4Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like streams in the Negeb!
5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.5Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy!
6He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.6He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
