Psalms 126 - Amplified Bible(AMP)

Thanksgiving for Return from Captivity.

A Song of Ascents.

1When the Lord brought back the captives to Zion (Jerusalem),

We were like those who dream.

2Then our mouth was filled with laughter

And our tongue with joyful shouting;

Then they said among the nations,

“The Lord has done great things for them.”

3The Lord has done great things for us;

We are glad!

4¶Restore our captivity, O Lord,

As the stream-beds in the South (the Negev).

5They who sow in tears shall reap with joyful singing.

6He who goes back and forth weeping, carrying his bag of seed,

Will indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
