Psalms
Chapter 126
1
(125) A Harvest of Joy1When the Lord brought the exiles back to Zion, we were like those moving in a dream.
2
Then, our mouths were filled with laughter, and our tongues with songs of joy. Among the nations, it was said, “The Lord has done great things for them.”
3
The Lord had done great things for us, and we were glad indeed.
4
Bring back our exiles, O Lord, like fresh streams in the desert.
5
Those who sow in tears will reap with songs and shouts of joy.
6
They went forth weeping, bearing the seeds for sowing, they will come home with joyful shouts, bringing their harvested sheaves.
