⁴ Bring back our captivity, O Lord,
As the streams in the South.

^5 (D)Those who sow in tears
Shall reap in joy.
⁶ He who continually goes ^[c]forth weeping,
Bearing ^[d]seed for sowing,
Shall doubtless come again ^[e]with ^(E)rejoicing,
Bringing his sheaves with him.

² O Lord, I have heard Your speech and was afraid;
O Lord, revive Your work in the midst of the years!
In the midst of the years make it known;
In wrath remember mercy.

³ God came from Teman,
The Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah

His glory covered the heavens,
And the earth was full of His praise.
⁴ His brightness was like the light;
He had rays flashing from His hand,
And there His power was hidden.
⁵ Before Him went pestilence,
And fever followed at His feet.

⁶ He stood and measured the earth;
He looked and startled the nations.
^(A)And the everlasting mountains were scattered,
The perpetual hills bowed.
His ways are everlasting.
