Restore Our Fortunes, O Lord
1
When a the LORD brought back the captivity of Zion,
b We were like those who dream.
2
Then c our mouth was filled with laughter,
And our tongue with singing.
Then they said among the nations,
"The LORD has done great things for them."
3
The LORD has done great things for us,
And we are glad.
4
Bring back our captivity, O LORD,
As the streams in the South.
5
d Those who sow in tears
Shall reap in joy.
6
He who continually goes forth weeping,
Bearing seed for sowing,
Shall doubtless come again with e rejoicing,
Bringing his sheaves with him.
