Ok, ok, I looked ahead to Evening Prayer, but I can't help it, this is my favorite psalm of all. Birds of paradise always look like nature laughing to me!
When God 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, *
“God has done great things for them.”
God has done great things for us, *
and we are glad indeed.
Restore our fortunes, O God, *
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.
Psalm 126
