A Prayer for Restoration

126A song of ascents.a

1When Yahweh restored the fortunesb of Zion,c

we were like dreamers.

2Then our mouth was filled with laughter,

and our tongue with rejoicing.

Then they said among the nations,

“Yahweh has done great things for these people.”

3Yahweh has done great things for us;

we are glad.

4Restore, O Yahweh, our fortunesd

like the streams in the Negeb.e

5Those who sow with tears

shall reap with rejoicing.

6He who diligently goes out with weeping,

carrying the seed bag,

shall certainly come in with rejoicing,

carrying his sheaves.
