Psalm 126 (WEBP)
[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.

[2] [125:2] τοτε επλησθη χαρας το στομα ημων και η γλωσσα ημων αγαλλιασεως τοτε ερουσιν εν τοις εθνεσιν εμεγαλυνεν κυριος του ποιησαι μετ αυτων
