Psalms, 126

1. A Song of degrees. When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

2. 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.

3. The LORD hath done great things for us; [whereof] we are glad.

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

5. They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

6. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves [with him].

Verses related to Psalms, 126:

Psalm 126 is a hymn of thanks to God for the restoration of the people of Israel after the Babylonian exile. The psalmist expresses the joy of those who were released and returned to their land. The following verses are related to the topics addressed in this Psalm:

Isaiah 51:11: "Thus the rescued of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with songs of joy; eternal joy will crown their heads. They will rejoice from joy and satisfaction, and the sadness and the moan will flee." This verse talks about the return of God's people to their land, which is directly related to the main theme of Psalm 126.

Jeremiah 31:7: "For thus the Lord says, 'Sing of joy for Jacob, exult because of the main peoples; proclaim, praise, and say,' Lord, save your people, the remnant of Israel! '" This verse It also refers to the restoration of the people of Israel and the joy it brings.

Psalm 85:1: "O Lord, you have shown your land, I brought back the captives of Jacob." This verse talks about the return of Jacob's captives, which is another theme present in Psalm 126.

Psalm 126:5-6: "Those who sow with tears, with songs of joy will harvest. He who goes out crying as he throws the seed will return with chants of joy, bringing his beams." These verses are within Psalm 126 and talk about the joy that comes after sadness and suffering.

Psalm 30:5: "Crying may persist a night, but in the morning the joy breaks out." This verse also talks about the joy that comes after suffering, as well as the verses of Psalm 126.





“Menosprezai vossas tentações e não vos demoreis nelas. Imaginai estar na presença de Jesus. O crucificado se lança em vossos braços e mora no vosso coração. Beijai-Lhe a chaga do lado, dizendo: ‘Aqui está minha esperança; a fonte viva da minha felicidade. Seguro-vos, ó Jesus, e não me aparto de vós, até que me tenhais posto a salvo’”. São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
