A Prayer for Restoration

126 A song of ascents.a

When Yahweh restored the fortunesb of Zion,c

we were like dreamers.

Then 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.”

Yahweh has done great things for us;

we are glad.

Restore, O Yahweh, our fortunesd

like the streams in the Negeb.e

Those who sow with tears

shall reap with rejoicing.

He who diligently goes out with weeping,

carrying the seed bag,

shall certainly come in with rejoicing,

carrying his sheaves.
