# Psalm 126 A Song of Ascents. 
<a id="1" name="1"></a>
1. When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream. 
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
2. Then 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.” 
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
3. The LORD has done great things for us; we are glad. 
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
4. Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like streams in the Negeb! 
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
5. Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy! 
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
6. He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
