Psalms 126

Psalm 126 ESV

1The church celebrating her incredible return out of captivity, 4prayeth for and prophesieth her own future joyfulness.
A Song of 1Ascents.
1 When the Lord 1restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who 2dream.
2 Then our 1mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, 2“The Lord has done great things for them.”
3 The Lord has done great things for us; we are glad.
4 Restore our fortunes, O Lord, like streams in the Negeb!
5 1Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy!
6 He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
Psalms 126
