Psalm 126
ESV Parallel NET [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
English Standard VersionNET Bible
1When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream.1A song of ascents. When the LORD restored the well-being of Zion, we thought we were dreaming.
2Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”2At that time we laughed loudly and shouted for joy. At that time the nations said, "The LORD has accomplished great things for these people."
3The LORD has done great things for us; we are glad.3The LORD did indeed accomplish great things for us. We were happy.
4Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like streams in the Negeb!4O LORD, restore our well-being, just as the streams in the arid south are replenished.
5Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy!5Those who shed tears as they plant will shout for joy when they reap the harvest.
6He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.6The one who weeps as he walks along, carrying his bag of seed, will certainly come in with a shout of joy, carrying his sheaves of grain.
