Lord, change our circumstances for the better,
    like dry streams in the desert waste!
Let those who plant with tears
    reap the harvest with joyful shouts.
Let those who go out,
    crying and carrying their seed,
    come home with joyful shouts,
    carrying bales of grain!

Restore our fortunes,[a](A) Lord,

Those who go out weeping,(F)
    carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy,
    carrying sheaves with them.
