Psalm 126 – read and compare multiple versions of the Bible

^[1] When Yahweh brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.
^[2] Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, “Yahweh has done great things for them.”
^[3] Yahweh has done great things for us, and we are glad.
^[4] Restore our fortunes again, Yahweh, like the streams in the Negev.
^[5] Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.
^[6] He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.
