A Prayer for Restoration

126 A song of ascents.a

1 When Yahweh restored the fortunesb of Zion,c

we were like dreamers.

2 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.”

3 Yahweh has done great things for us;

we are glad.

4 Restore, O Yahweh, our fortunesd

like the streams in the Negeb.e

5 Those who sow with tears

shall reap with rejoicing.

6 He who diligently goes out with weeping,

carrying the seed bag,

shall certainly come in with rejoicing,

carrying his sheaves.
