Psalms 126
126
Restored
A song of the stairway
1It was like a dream come true
when you freed us from our bondage and brought us back to Zion!
2We laughed and laughed and overflowed with gladness.
We were left shouting for joy and singing your praise.
All the nations saw it and joined in, saying,
“The Lord has done great miracles for them!”
3Yes, he did mighty miracles and we are overjoyed!
4Now, Lord, do it again! Restore us to our former glory!
May streams of your refreshing flow over us
until our dry hearts are drenched again.
5Those who sow their tears as seeds # 126:5 Or “sow their seeds with tears.” A sower weeps when he sows his precious seed while his children are hungry. This is a picture of sacrificing what little we have for the harvest to come.
will reap a harvest with joyful shouts of glee.
6They may weep as they go out carrying their seed to sow,
but they will return with joyful laughter and shouting with gladness
as they bring back armloads of blessing and a harvest overflowing!

The Reversal of Zion’s Fortunes
1A song of ascents.
I
When the Lord restored the captives of Zion,#Ps 14:7.
we thought we were dreaming.
2Then our mouths were filled with laughter;
our tongues sang for joy.#Jb 8:21.
Then it was said among the nations,
“The Lord had done great things for them.”
3The Lord has done great things for us;
Oh, how happy we were!
4Restore our captives, Lord,
like the dry stream beds of the Negeb.#Like the dry stream beds of the Negeb: the psalmist prays for rain in such abundance that the dry riverbeds will run.
II
5Those who sow in tears
will reap with cries of joy.#Bar 4:23; Is 65:19.
6Those who go forth weeping,
carrying sacks of seed,
Will return with cries of joy,
carrying their bundled sheaves.
