Psalm 126
NIV Parallel NLT [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New International VersionNew Living Translation
1A song of ascents. When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dreamed.1When the LORD brought back his exiles to Jerusalem, it was like a dream!
2Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them."2We were filled with laughter, and we sang for joy. And the other nations said, “What amazing things the LORD has done for them.”
3The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.3Yes, the LORD has done amazing things for us! What joy!
4Restore our fortunes, LORD, like streams in the Negev.4Restore our fortunes, LORD, as streams renew the desert.
5Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy.5Those who plant in tears will harvest with shouts of joy.
6Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them.6They weep as they go to plant their seed, but they sing as they return with the harvest.
