Zion Restored Brings Overwhelming Joy
Open in the reader →A Song of Ascents.
1When Yahweh restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream.
2Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with joyful shouting; then they said among the nations, “Yahweh has done great things for them.”
3Yahweh has done great things for us; we were glad.
4Restore our fortunes, Yahweh, like streams in the Negev.
5Those who sow in tears will reap with joyful shouting.
6He surely goes, weeping, carrying seed for sowing; he will surely come with joyful shouting, carrying his sheaves.
