Psalms

¹A Canticle in steps. When the Lord turned back the captivity of Zion, we became like those who are consoled. ↗

²Then our mouth was filled with gladness and our tongue with exultation. Then they will say among the nations: ”The Lord has done great things for them.“ ↗

³The Lord has done great things for us. We have become joyful. ↗

⁴Convert our captivity, O Lord, like a torrent in the south. ↗

⁵Those who sow in tears shall reap in exultation. ↗

⁶When departing, they went forth and wept, sowing their seeds. ↗

⁷But when returning, they will arrive with exultation, carrying their sheaves. ↗
