Psalm 126 New International Version (NIV)

Psalm 126

A song of ascents.



1
When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,
we were like those who dreamed.

2
Our mouths were filled with laughter,
our tongues with songs of joy.
Then it was said among the nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”

3
The Lord has done great things for us,
and we are filled with joy.



4
Restore our fortunes, Lord,
like streams in the Negev.

5
Those who sow with tears
will reap with songs of joy.

6
Those who go out weeping,
carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy,
carrying sheaves with them.
