Psalm

Restore Our Fortunes, O LORD
126 A Song of Ascents.

    When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion,
        we were like those who dream. ₂Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
        and our tongue with shouts of joy;
    then they said among the nations,
        “The LORD has done great things for them.” ₃The LORD has done great things for us;
        we are glad. ₄Restore our fortunes, O LORD,
        like streams in the Negeb! ₅Those who sow in tears
        shall reap with shouts of joy! ₆He who goes out weeping,
        bearing the seed for sowing,
    shall come home with shouts of joy,
        bringing his sheaves with him.
