Psalm 126

New Living TranslationHolman Christian Standard Bible
1When the LORD brought back his exiles to Jerusalem, it was like a dream!1A song of ascents. When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream.
2We were filled with laughter, and we sang for joy. And the other nations said, “What amazing things the LORD has done for them.”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."
3Yes, the LORD has done amazing things for us! What joy!3The LORD had done great things for us; we were joyful.
4Restore our fortunes, LORD, as streams renew the desert.4Restore our fortunes, LORD, like watercourses in the Negev.
5Those who plant in tears will harvest with shouts of joy.5Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.
6They weep as they go to plant their seed, but they sing as they return with the harvest.6Though one goes along weeping, carrying the bag of seed, he will surely come back with shouts of joy, carrying his sheaves.
