Psalm 126
ESV Parallel NLT [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
English Standard VersionNew Living Translation
1When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream.1When the LORD brought back his exiles to Jerusalem, it was like a dream!
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.”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; we are glad.3Yes, the LORD has done amazing things for us! What joy!
4Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like streams in the Negeb!4Restore our fortunes, LORD, as streams renew the desert.
5Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy!5Those who plant in tears will harvest with shouts of joy.
6He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.6They weep as they go to plant their seed, but they sing as they return with the harvest.
