Psalms 126:5

GriefJoyHopeComfort

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

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

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.
