Psalm 126
HCSB Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
Holman Christian Standard BibleInternational Standard Version
1A song of ascents. When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream. 1When the LORD brought back Zion's exiles, we were like dreamers.
2Our mouths were filled with laughter then, and our tongues with shouts of joy. Then they said among the nations," The LORD has done great things for them." 2Then our mouths were filled with laughter, and our tongues formed joyful shouts. Then it was said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them."
3The LORD had done great things for us; we were joyful. 3The great things that the LORD has done for us gladden us.
4Restore our fortunes, LORD, like watercourses in the Negev. 4Restore our exiles, LORD, like the streams of the Negev.
5Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy. 5Those who weep while they plant will sing for joy while they harvest.
6Though one goes along weeping, carrying the bag of seed, he will surely come back with shouts of joy, carrying his sheaves. 6The one who goes out weeping, carrying a bag of seeds, will surely return with a joyful song, bearing sheaves from his harvest.
