Psalm 126 :: English Standard Version (ESV)

Restore Our Fortunes, O Lord

Psa 126:1

Psa 126:1A Song of Ascents.
When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion,
we were like those who dream.

Psa 126:2

Psa 126:2Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
and our tongue with shouts of joy;
then they said among the nations,
“The LORD has done great things for them.”

Psa 126:3

Psa 126:3The LORD has done great things for us;
we are glad.

Psa 126:4

Psa 126:4Restore our fortunes, O LORD,
like streams in the Negeb!

Psa 126:5

Psa 126:5Those who sow in tears
shall reap with shouts of joy!

Psa 126:6

Psa 126:6He who goes out weeping,
bearing the seed for sowing,
shall come home with shouts of joy,
bringing his sheaves with him.
