Psalms 126

1 When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream.

2 Our 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."

3 The LORD had done great things for us; we were joyful.

4 Restore our fortunes, LORD, like watercourses in the Negev.

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

6 Though one goes along weeping, carrying the bag of seed, he will surely come back with shouts of joy, carrying his sheaves.
