CHAPTER 126

A song of ascents.

¹ When the LORD brought back the captives to ^[1] Zion,
we were like men who dreamed. ^[2]
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, ^[3] O LORD ,
like streams in the Negev.
⁵ Those who sow in tears
will reap with songs of joy.
⁶ He who goes out weeping,
carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy,
carrying sheaves with him.
