Psalms 126
The Lord restored the people of Zion from captivity, filling their mouths with joy and their tongues with praise. The nations took notice of the Lord's great works for them. The people ask the Lord to restore their fortunes once more, like a powerful stream in the desert. Those who have sown in sorrow will reap with joy, returning with exultation and carrying their harvest.
1A Canticle in steps. When the Lord turned back the captivity of Zion, we became like those who are consoled2Then our mouth was filled with gladness and our tongue with exultation. Then they will say among the nations: "The Lord has done great things for them.3The Lord has done great things for us. We have become joyful4Convert our captivity, O Lord, like a torrent in the south5Those who sow in tears shall reap in exultation6When departing, they went forth and wept, sowing their seeds. But when returning, they will arrive with exultation, carrying their sheaves.
