Berean Standard Bible
“He who goes out weeping, bearing a trail of seed, will surely return with shouts of joy, carrying sheaves of grain.”
Psalm 126 closes with a prayer for renewal, since not everything had been restored yet after the return from exile. The psalmist uses the imagery of farming, where seed has to be sown before there is any harvest.
