Psalms 126 Summary
From Captivity to Joy and Fruitful Labor
When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, the people were like those awakening from a dream, their mouths filled with laughter and singing. The heathen said the LORD had done great things for them. Though those who sow in tears shall reap in joy, and the one who goes forth weeping with precious seed shall come again rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
