 Show your goodness, O, to those who are good * and to those who are true of heart.

As for those who turn aside to crooked ways, the will lead them away with the evildoers; * but peace be upon Israel.

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.

Unless the builds the house, * their labor is in vain who build it.
