Restore Our Fortunes, O Lord
126A Song of Ascents. 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 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 streams in the Negeb!
5
Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy!
6
He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
