we
were like those who dream.
Then
our mouth was filled with laughter,
and
our tongue with singing.
Then
they said among the nations,
“Yahweh
has done great things for them.”
Yahweh
has done great things for us,
and
we are glad.
Restore
our fortunes again, Yahweh,
like
the streams in the Negev.
Those
who sow in tears will reap in joy.
He
who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing,
will
certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.
Psalm 126
