Psalms 126

Text: World English Bible (public domain). Titles, introduction and illustrations: Imago Biblia.

Illustrations for this chapter are coming soon. In the meantime, here is the full text.

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

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.”

The LORD has done great things for us, and we are glad.

Restore our fortunes again, LORD, like the streams in the Negev.

Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

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