Psalms
Chapter 126Berean Standard Bible
King James Version
1When the LORD restored the captives of Zion, we were like dreamers.
When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
2Then our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with shouts of joy. Then it was said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”
Then 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.
3The LORD has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.
The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
4Restore our captives, O LORD, like streams in the Negev.
Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.
5Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6He who goes out weeping, bearing a trail of seed, will surely return with shouts of joy, carrying sheaves of grain.
He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
