Psalms 126

1 A Song of Ascents. When Yahweh brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.

A Song of Ascents. When Jehovah brought back those that returned to Zion, We were like unto them that dream.

2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, “Yahweh has done great things for them.”

Then was our mouth filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing: Then said they among the nations, Jehovah hath done great things for them.

3 Yahweh has done great things for us, and we are glad.

Jehovah hath done great things for us, [Whereof] we are glad.

4 Restore our fortunes again, Yahweh, like the streams in the Negev.

Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah, As the streams in the South.

5 Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

6 He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.

He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves [with him].
