Psalm 126 - In convertendo

1   When the Lord overturned the captivity 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   Indeed, the Lord has done great things for us already, +
    whereof we rejoice.

5   Overturn our captivity, O Lord, +
    as when streams refresh the deserts of the south.

6   Those who sow in tears +
    shall reap with songs of joy.

7   He who goes on his way weeping and bears good seed +
    shall doubtless come again with joy, and bring his sheaves with him.
