Psalms 126:4

New life and rebirthPrayerHope

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.”

3 The LORD has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.

Restore our captives, O LORD, like streams in the Negev.

5 Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.

6 He who goes out weeping, bearing a trail of seed, will surely return with shouts of joy, carrying sheaves of grain.
