Psalms126

Psalms 126 expresses the overwhelming joy of Zion's return from captivity, an event so profound it felt like a dream, filling their mouths with laughter and song. Even the heathen acknowledged the Lord's great works for them. The psalm then shifts to a prayer for further restoration and concludes with the hopeful promise that those who sow in tears shall ultimately reap in joy, bringing in their harvest with rejoicing.

Joyful Remembrance of Restoration

1
A Song of the Ascents. In Jehovah's turning back to the captivity of Zion, We have been as dreamers.
2
Then filled with laughter is our mouth, And our tongue with singing, Then do they say among nations, `Jehovah did great things with these.'
3
Jehovah did great things with us, We have been joyful.

Prayer for Full Restoration and Harvest

4
Turn again, O Jehovah, to our captivity, As streams in the south.
5
Those sowing in tears, with singing do reap,
6
Whoso goeth on and weepeth, Bearing the basket of seed, Surely cometh in with singing, bearing his sheaves!
