When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream.
Psalms 126
English - RSV 1952
1
2
Then 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.”
3
The Lord has done great things for us; we are glad.
4
Restore our fortunes, O Lord, like the watercourses in the Negeb!
5
May those who sow in tears reap with shouts of joy!
6
He that goes forth weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
