<< Psalm 126 >> New American Standard Bible © Thanksgiving for Return from Captivity. A Song of Ascents. 1 When the LORD brought back the captive ones of Zion,  We were like those who dream. 2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter  And our tongue with joyful shouting;  Then they said among the nations,  “The LORD has done great things for them.” 3 The LORD has done great things for us;  We are glad. 4 Restore our captivity, O LORD,  As the streams in the South. 5 Those who sow in tears shall reap with joyful shouting. 6 He who goes to and fro weeping, carrying his bag of seed,  Shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
