126 1 When Yahweh restored the fortunes of Zion,
we were like those who dream.
126 2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
and our tongue with shouts of joy;
then they said among the nations,
"Yahweh has done great things for them."
126 3 Yahweh has done great things for us;
we are glad.
126 4 Restore our fortunes, O Yahweh,
like the watercourses in the Negeb!
126 5 May those who sow in tears
reap with shouts of joy!
126 6 He that goes forth weeping,
bearing the seed for sowing,
shall come home with shouts of joy,
bringing his sheaves with him.
