Psalm 126 :: Amplified Bible (AMP)

Thanksgiving for Return from Captivity.

¶

A Song of [fn]Ascents.

When the LORD brought back the captives to Zion (Jerusalem),

We were like those who dream [it seemed so unreal].

Then 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.”

The LORD has done great things for us;

We are glad!

¶

Restore our [fn]captivity, O LORD,

As the stream-beds in the South (the Negev) [are restored by torrents of rain].

They who sow in tears shall reap with joyful singing.

He who goes back and forth weeping, carrying his bag of seed [for planting],

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