Psalms 126:1-6
A Song of the Ascents.
126 When Jehovah gathered back the captives of Zion,+We thought we were dreaming.
2 At that time our mouth was filled with laughterAnd our tongue with a joyful shout.+
At that time they said among the nations:
“Jehovah has done great things for them.”+
3 Jehovah has done great things for us,+And we are overjoyed.
4 Do gather back* our captives, O Jehovah,Like streams in the Negʹeb.*
5 Those sowing seed with tearsWill reap with a joyful shout.
6 The one who does go out, though weeping,Carrying his bag of seed,Will surely return with a joyful shout,+Carrying in his sheaves.+
