Psalms 126 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

PSALM 126

1. A song of ascents.When the Lord restored the captives of Zion,we thought we were dreaming.

I

2. Then our mouths were filled with laughter;our tongues sang for joy.Then it was said among the nations,“The Lord had done great things for them.”

3. The Lord has done great things for us;Oh, how happy we were!

4. Restore our captives, Lord,like the dry stream beds of the Negeb.

II

5. Those who sow in tearswill reap with cries of joy.

6. Those who go forth weeping,carrying sacks of seed,Will return with cries of joy,carrying their bundled sheaves.
