PSALM 126
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1When Sion's bondage God turn'd back,
as men that dream'd were we.
2Then fill'd with laughter was our mouth,
our tongue with melody:
They 'mong the heathen said, The Lord
great things for them hath wrought.
3The Lord hath done great things for us,
whence joy to us is brought.
4As streams of water in the south,
our bondage, Lord, recall.
5Who sow in tears, a reaping time
of joy enjoy they shall.
6That man who, bearing precious seed,
in going forth doth mourn,
He doubtless, bringing back his sheaves,
rejoicing shall return.

Psalms 126
126
A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem.
1When the Lord brought his people back from captivity to Zion, it was as if we were dreaming!
2We laughed so much, we sang for joy. The other nations said, “The Lord has done wonderful things for these people.”
3The Lord certainly has done wonderful things for us. How happy we were!
4Please return and help us again, Lord. Renew us like streams of water that renew the Negev desert.
5Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy!
6Those who weep as they go out to sow their seed will be singing in celebration when they carry the harvest home.
