Here’s a
readers’ theatre setting of Psalm 126.
It is set for two voices.
Readers’ Theatre
(Psalm 26)
Remember when
the Eternal brought back the exiles to Zion?
It was as if we
were dreaming—
Our mouths were
filled with laughter;
our tongues
were spilling over into song.
The word went out across the prairies and deserts,
across the hills, over the oceans wide,
from nation to nation:
“The Eternal has done remarkable things for them.”
We shook our
heads.
All of us were
stunned—the Eternal has done remarkable things for us.
We were beyond
happy, beyond joyful.
And now, Eternal One, some are held captive and poor.
Release them, and restore our fortunes
as the dry riverbeds of the South spring to life
when the rains come at last.
Those who walk
the fields to sow,
casting their
seed in tears,
will one day
tread those same long rows,
amazed by
what’s appeared.
Those who weep as they walk and plant with sighs
will return singing with joy
when they bring home the harvest.
