Psalm 126

Zion’s Restoration

A * song of ascents.

When the Lord restored the fortunes of * Zion, g

we were like those who dream. h

Our mouths were filled with laughter then, i

and our tongues with shouts of joy. j

Then they said among the nations,

“The Lord has done great things for them.” k

The Lord had done great things for us;

we were joyful. l

Restore our fortunes, m Lord,

like watercourses in the * Negev. n

Those who sow in tears

will reap with shouts of joy. o

Though one goes along weeping,

carrying the bag of seed,

he will surely come back with shouts of joy,

carrying his sheaves. p

About The Holman Christian Standard Bible

The complete Holman Christian Standard Bible® is now available for the first time ever! More than fifteen years in the making, crafted by the shared expertise of nearly a hundred conservative scholars and English stylists, the Holman CSB® sets the standard in painstaking biblical accuracy and pure literary form.

Accurate, yet highly readable, it's a translation committed to leaving both the grace and gravity of the original languages intact while carefully creating a smooth flow of wording for the reader.

Stylistically, this inaugural edition contributes to the clarity of the written Word, arranging the poetic portions of the Scripture into complete lines of thought, and revering God's presence on each page by capitalizing all the pronouns that refer to Him.
