Psalms 126

Restoration and Joy

Restoration and Joy

1When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion , we were like them that dream . 2Then was our mouth filled with laughter , and our tongue with singing : then said they among the heathen , The LORD hath done great things for them.

The Nations' Response

3The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad .

A Prayer for Continued Restoration

4Turn again our captivity , O LORD , as the streams in the south . 5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy . 6He that goeth forth and weepeth , bearing precious seed , shall doubtless come again with rejoicing , bringing his sheaves with him .
