Psalm 126

[1]   When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion,  
          we were like those who dream.  
[2]   Then our mouth was filled with laughter,  
          and our tongue with shouts of joy;  
     then it was said among the nations,  
          "The LORD has done great things for them."  
[3]   The LORD has done great things for us,  
          and we rejoiced.

[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]   Those who go out weeping,  
          bearing the seed for sowing,  
     shall come home with shouts of joy,  
          carrying their sheaves.
