Psalm 126
In convertendo
1
When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion,
then were we like those who dream.
2
Then was our mouth filled with laughter,
and our tongue with shouts of joy.
3
Then they said among the nations,
"The LORD has done great things for them."
4
The LORD has done great things for us,
and we are glad indeed.
5
Restore our fortunes, O LORD ,
like the watercourses of the Negev.
6
Those who sowed with tears
will reap with songs of joy.
7
Those who go out weeping, carrying the seed,
will come again with joy, shouldering their sheaves.
