126:1  A Song of Ascents. When Yahweh brought back those who returned to Zion, We were like those who dream.

126:2  Then our mouth was filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, "Yahweh has done great things for them."

126:3  Yahweh has done great things for us, And we are glad.

126:4  Restore our fortunes again, Yahweh, Like the streams in the Negev.

126:5  Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

126:6  He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, Will assuredly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.
