- Chapter 126 -

The captives of Zion restored

1
When the LORD restored the captives of Zion,(a) we were like dreamers.(b)
2
Then our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with shouts of joy. Then it was said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”
3
The LORD has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.
4
Restore our captives,(c) O LORD, like streams in the Negev.
5
Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.
6
He who goes out weeping, bearing a trail of seed, will surely return with shouts of joy, carrying sheaves of grain.
