 The shall watch over your going out and your coming in, * from this time forth for evermore.

Psalm 126    In convertendo

When the restored the fortunes of Zion, * then were we like those who dream.

Then was our mouth filled with laughter, * and our tongue with shouts of joy.

Then they said among the nations, * “The has done great things for them.”

The has done great things for us, * and we are glad indeed.

Restore our fortunes, O, * like the watercourses of the Negev.

Those who sowed with tears * will reap with songs of joy.

Those who go out weeping, carrying the seed, * will come again with joy, shouldering their sheaves.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: *
 * as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

The love of God has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.
