Psalms — Chapter 126
1
A song of ascents.When GOD restores the fortunes of Zion—we see it as in a dreamawe see it as in a dream Lit. “we are veritable dreamers.”—
2
our mouths shall be filled with laughter,our tongues, with songs of joy.Then shall they say among the nations,“GOD has done great things for them!”
3
GOD will do great things for usand we shall rejoice.
4
Restore our fortunes, O ETERNAL One,like watercourses in the Negeb.
5
They who sow in tearsshall reap with songs of joy.
6
One who goes along weeping,carrying the seed-bag,shall come back with songs of joy,carrying the sheaves.
