• Psalm 126
• In convertendo

¹ When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, *

then were we like those who dream.

² Then was our mouth filled with laughter, *

and our tongue with shouts of joy.

³ Then they said among the nations, *

"The LORD has done great things for them."

⁴ The LORD has done great things for us, *

and we are glad indeed.

⁵ Restore our fortunes, O LORD, *

like the watercourses of the Negev.

⁶ Those who sowed with tears *

will reap with songs of joy.

⁷ Those who go out weeping, carrying the seed, *

will come again with joy, shouldering their sheaves.
