Our Lord, we ask you to bless
    our people again,
and let us be like streams
    in the Southern Desert.
We cried as we went out
    to plant our seeds.
Now let us celebrate
    as we bring in the crops.
We cried on the way
    to plant our seeds,
but we will celebrate and shout
    as we bring in the crops.

Restore our fortunes,[a](A) Lord,
    like streams in the Negev.(B)
Those who sow with tears(C)
    will reap(D) with songs of joy.(E)
Those who go out weeping,(F)
    carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy,
    carrying sheaves with them.
