Psalm 126 - Modern English Version

A Song of Ascents.

¹ When the Lord brought back the captives of Zion, we were like those who dream.

² Then was our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing; then said they 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 Bring back our captives, O  Lord, like the streams in the Negev.

⁵ Those who sow in tears shall reap with joy.

⁶ He who goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall come home with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
