Psalm 126

1 When Yahweh 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 among the nations, "Yahweh has done great things for them."

3 Yahweh has done great things for us, and we are glad.

4 Restore our fortunes again, Yahweh, 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.

Chapter Summary

When the LORD restored Zion's fortunes it was like a dream; those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy.
