Psalms 126:1

A Joyful Return to Zion

A Song of Ascents.

1 When ^athe Lord brought back the captivity of Zion,
^bWe were like those who dream.

2 Then ^aour mouth was filled with laughter,
And our tongue with singing.
Then they said among the¹ nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”

3 The Lord has done great things for us,
And we are glad.

4 Bring back our captivity, O Lord,
As the streams in the South.

5 ^aThose who sow in tears
Shall reap in joy.

6 He who continually goes¹ forth weeping,
Bearing¹ seed for sowing,
Shall doubtless come again¹ with ^arejoicing,
Bringing his sheaves with him.
