Psalm 126 | Liturgical Calendar

1

When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, *

then were we like those who dream.

2

Then was our mouth filled with laughter, *

and our tongue with shouts of joy.

3

Then they said among the nations, *

“The Lord has done great things for them.”

4

The Lord has done great things for us, *

and we are glad indeed.

5

Restore our fortunes, O Lord, *

like the watercourses of the Negev.

6

Those who sowed with tears *

will reap with songs of joy.

7

Those who go out weeping, carrying the seed, *

will come again with joy, shouldering their sheaves.
