Psalm 126
When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream.
Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then it was said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”
The LORD has done great things for us, and we rejoiced.
Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like the watercourses in the Negeb.
May those who sow in tears reap with shouts of joy.
Those who go out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, carrying their sheaves.
DG Comment: I love this phrase, "May those who sow in tears reap with shouts of joy." Those who suffer now I hope have an opportunity to shout with joy. This is what we hope our Lenten journey results in at Easter. When we take Maundy Thursday and Good Friday seriously, this is what we look forward to.
