Psalm 126*The Reversal of Zion’s Fortunes1A song of ascents. I When the Lord restored the captives of Zion,a we thought we were dreaming. 2Then our mouths were filled with laughter; our tongues sang for joy.b Then it was said among the nations, “The Lord had done great things for them.” 3The Lord has done great things for us; Oh, how happy we were! 4Restore our captives, Lord, like the dry stream beds of the Negeb.* II 5Those who sow in tears will reap with cries of joy.c 6Those who go forth weeping, carrying sacks of seed, Will return with cries of joy, carrying their bundled sheaves.
