Psalm 126

Jerusalem resurrected

The Lord restores Jerusalem

Road trip song [1]
1When the LORD brought Jerusalem back to life,
It felt like we were dreaming.
2Our mouths echoed with laughter.
Our tongues threw shouts of joy.
The whole world said, together,
“Look at all the great things
The LORD has done for them.”
3The LORD has done great things for us.
And we are glad he has.
4LORD, give us back everything we lost,
Just as streams can flow
In the Negev desert wadis, [3]
5Weeping, we plant our seeds.
Shouting for joy, we collect the harvest.
6People who carry the seed bags
And plant their seeds weeping,
Will one day shout for joy,
Bringing in the harvest.
