Psalms 126:3
1 When the LORD restored the captives of Zion, we were like dreamers.
2 Then our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with shouts of joy. Then it was said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”
The LORD has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.
4 Restore our captives, O LORD, like streams in the Negev.
5 Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
