Psalm 126

New Century Version

Lord, Bring Your People Back

A song for going up to worship.

126 When the Lord brought the prisoners back to Jerusalem,
    it seemed as if we were dreaming.
²Then we were filled with laughter,
    and we sang happy songs.
Then the other nations said,
    “The Lord has done great things for them.”
³The Lord has done great things for us,
    and we are very glad.

⁴Lord, return our prisoners again,
    as you bring streams to the desert.
⁵Those who cry as they plant crops
    will sing at harvest time.
⁶Those who cry
    as they carry out the seeds
will return singing
    and carrying bundles of grain.
