Psalms 126

The people of Zion rejoice at their return from captivity, filled with laughter and singing, as the Lord has done great things for them. They acknowledge the Lord's greatness and ask for their captivity to be turned again, comparing it to the streams in the south. Those who have sown in tears will reap in joy, and those who weep while sowing will return with rejoicing, bringing their sheaves.

1When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.2Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.3The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.4Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.6He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
