Psalm 126

In convertendo

The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 7 verses

  1. 1

    When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, *
    then were we like those who dream.

  2. 2

    Then was our mouth filled with laughter, *
    and our tongue with shouts of joy.

  3. 3

    Then they said among the nations, *
    "The LORD has done great things for them."

  4. 4

    The LORD has done great things for us, *
    and we are glad indeed.

  5. 5

    Restore our fortunes, O LORD, *
    like the watercourses of the Negev.

  6. 6

    Those who sowed with tears *
    will reap with songs of joy.

  7. 7

    Those who go out weeping, carrying the seed, *
    will come again with joy, shouldering their sheaves.
