Psalm 126

When the Lord overturned the captivity of Zion, *

then were we like those who dream.

Then was our mouth filled with laughter *

and our tongue with shouts of joy.

Then they said among the nations, *

“The Lord has done great things for them.”

Indeed, the Lord has done great things for us already, *

whereof we rejoice.

Overturn our captivity, O Lord, *

as when streams refresh the deserts of the south.

Those who sow in tears *

shall reap with songs of joy.

He who goes on his way weeping and bears good seed *

shall doubtless come again with joy, and bring his sheaves with him.
