Psalm 126Zion's Restoration
-
When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream.
-
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."
-
The Lord had done great things for us; we were joyful.
-
Restore our fortunes, Lord, like watercourses in the Negev.
-
Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.
-
Though one goes along weeping, carrying the bag of seed, he will surely come back with shouts of joy, carrying his sheaves.
