126:1 A Song of Ascents. When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream. 126:2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy;then they said among the nations, 'The LORD has done great things for them.' 126:3 The LORD has done great things for us;we are glad. 126:4 Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like the watercourses in the Negeb! 126:5 May those who sow in tears reap with shouts of joy! 126:6 He that goes forth weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
