126
A Song of Ascents. 
 1 When the LORD brought back those who returned to Zion, 
we were like those who dream. 
 2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, 
and our tongue with singing. 
Then they said among the nations, 
“The LORD has done great things for them.” 
 3 The LORD has done great things for us, 
and we are glad. 
 4 Restore our fortunes again, LORD, 
like the streams in the Negev. 
 5 Those who sow in tears will reap in joy. 
 6 He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, 
will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.
