⁴ Restore our fortunes,^[c](G) Lord,
    like streams in the Negev.^(H)
5 Those who sow with tears^(I)
    will reap^(J) with songs of joy.^(K)
6 Those who go out weeping,^(L)
    carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy,
    carrying sheaves with them.

¹³ You came out^(A) to deliver^(B) your people,
    to save your anointed^(C) one.
You crushed^(D) the leader of the land of wickedness,
    you stripped him from head to foot.
¹⁴ With his own spear you pierced his head
    when his warriors stormed out to scatter us,^(E)
gloating as though about to devour
    the wretched^(F) who were in hiding.
¹⁵ You trampled the sea^(G) with your horses,
    churning the great waters.^(H)

¹⁶ I heard and my heart pounded,
    my lips quivered at the sound;
decay crept into my bones,
    and my legs trembled.^(I)
Yet I will wait patiently^(J) for the day of calamity
    to come on the nation invading us.
¹⁷ Though the fig tree does not bud
    and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
    and the fields produce no food,^(K)
though there are no sheep in the pen
    and no cattle in the stalls,^(L)
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord,^(M)
    I will be joyful in God my Savior.^(N)

¹⁹ The Sovereign Lord is my strength;^(O)
    he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
    he enables me to tread on the heights.^(P)
