Psalm Chapter 126 - A Song of degrees

Psalm 126: From Captivity to Joyful Harvest

This episode presents Psalm 126, a Song of degrees that remembers the Lord turning back the captivity of Zion so vividly that it felt like a dream. It recounts the people’s laughter and singing, and even the surrounding nations recognizing that the Lord has done great things. The psalm then becomes a prayer asking God to restore them again, likening that renewal to streams in the south. It closes with a promise of hope: those who sow in tears will reap in joy, and the one who goes out weeping with precious seed will return rejoicing, bringing sheaves with him.

Psalm 126 - A Song of degrees

When the Lord turned again the captivity
of Zion, we were like them that dream.

Then was our mouth filled with
laughter, and our tongue with singing:

then said they among the heathen, The
Lord hath done great things for them.

The Lord hath done great things
for us; whereof we are glad.

Turn again our captivity, O Lord,
as the streams in the south.

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

He that goeth forth and weepeth,
bearing precious seed, shall

doubtless come again with rejoicing,
bringing his sheaves with him.
