{ב} אָז יִמָּלֵא שְׂחוֹק פִּינוּ וּלְשׁוֹנֵנוּ רִנָּה אָז יֹאמְרוּ בַגּוֹיִם הִגְדִּיל יְהוָה לַעֲשׂוֹת עִם אֵלֶּה:

{ה} הַזֹּרְעִים בְּדִמְעָה בְּרִנָּה יִקְצֹרוּ:
{ו} הָלוֹךְ יֵלֵךְ וּבָכֹה נֹשֵׂא מֶשֶׁךְ הַזָּרַע בֹּא יָבוֹא בְרִנָּה נֹשֵׂא אֲלֻמֹּתָיו:

Haloch ielech uvacho nosse méshech hazára, bo iavo verina, nosse alumotav

Tehillim 126 - Tehillim translated into English

1. A Song of Maalot. When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion, we were like men who dream!
2. Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing; then they said among the nations, The Lord has done great things for them!
3. The Lord has done great things for us; we are glad!
4. Bring back our captivity, O Lord, like the streams in the Negev!
5. Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy!
6. He who goes forth weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come back with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him!

Tehillim 126 : Significance

A prayer for the end of our exile

Description / commentaries - Tehillim 126

The psalmist speaks of the future, comparing our Divine service in exile to one who sows arid land, then cries and begs God to send rain upon it so that the seed not be wasted. When he merits to reap the crop, he offers thanks to God.
