Psalms 126 Comparison: American Standard Version vs Berean Study Bible
Psalms 126
1When Jehovah brought back those that returned to Zion, We were like unto them that dream.
2Then was our mouth filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing: Then said they among the nations, Jehovah hath done great things for them.
3Jehovah hath done great things for us, Whereofwe are glad.
4Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah, As the streams in the South.
5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves with him.

3The LORD has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.
4Restore our captives, O LORD, like streams in the Negev.
5Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.
6He who goes out weeping, bearing a trail of seed, will surely return with shouts of joy, carrying sheaves of grain.
