Psalm 126

International Children’s Bible

Lord, Give Our Riches Back

A song for going up to worship.

126 When the Lord gave the riches back to Jerusalem,
    it seemed as if we were dreaming.
²Then we were filled with laughter,
    and we sang happy songs.
Then the other nations said,
    “The Lord has done great things for them.”
³The Lord has done great things for us,
    and we are very glad.

⁴Lord, give us back our riches again.
    Do this as you bring streams to the desert.
⁵Those who cry as they plant crops
    will sing at harvesttime.
⁶Those who cry
    as they carry out the seeds
will return singing
    and carrying bundles of grain.
