Psalm chapter 126
English Standard Version
1A Song of Ascents. When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream. 2Then 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.” 3The LORD has done great things for us; we are glad. 4Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like streams in the Negeb! 5Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy! 6He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
New International Version
New American Standard Bible
1When the LORD brought back the captives of Zion, We were like those who dream. 2Then 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.' 3The LORD has done great things for us; We are joyful. 4Restore our fortunes, LORD, As the streams in the South. 5Those who sow in tears shall harvest with joyful shouting. 6One who goes here and there weeping, carrying his bag of seed, Shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.

1A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. When the LORD brought back his exiles to Jerusalem, it was like a dream! 2We were filled with laughter, and we sang for joy. And the other nations said, 'What amazing things the LORD has done for them.' 3Yes, the LORD has done amazing things for us! What joy!
King James Version
1{A Song of degrees.} When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. 2Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them. 3The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
