Psalm 126

New International Version

1   When the Lord restored the fortunes of[a] Zion,
    we were like those who dreamed.[b]
2   Our mouths were filled with laughter,
    our tongues with songs of joy.
    Then it was said among the nations,
    "The Lord has done great things for them."
3   The Lord has done great things for us,
    and we are filled with joy.

4   Restore our fortunes,[c] Lord,
    like streams in the Negev.
5   Those who sow with tears
    will reap with songs of joy.
6   Those who go out weeping,
    carrying seed to sow,
    will return with songs of joy,
    carrying sheaves with them.
