Psalm 126
A Song of Ascents.
When the Lord overturned the captivity of Zion, then were we like those who dream.
Then was our mouth filled with laughter and our tongue with shouts of joy.
Then they said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.”
Indeed, the Lord has done great things for us already, whereof we rejoice.
Overturn our captivity, O Lord, as when streams refresh the deserts of the south.
Those who sow in tears shall reap with songs of joy.
He who goes on his way weeping and bears good seed shall doubtless come again with joy, and bring his sheaves with him.
