Psalm 126: 21st Century Bible translation by Miriyam Glazer, Ph.D. (2009)

from Psalms of the Jewish Liturgy (Avi Press):
When Adonai restored Zion, we were like dreamers.
Laughter filled out mouth and
Our tongues sang with joy.
Then the nations of the world said,
"Adonai has done great things for them!"
Adonai did do great things for us -- and we were glad.
O Adonai, rest our well-being now, like streams that flow in the Negev.
So those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy --
and those who walk along weeping, bearing a bag of seeds will surely come home
singing with joy, bearing sheaves.
