2nd Sunday of Advent, Year C: Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 126:1-2, 2-3, 4-5, 6

The Lord has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.

Verse 1:

When the LORD brought back the captives of Zion,
   we were like men dreaming.
Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
   and our tongue with rejoicing.

Verse 2:

Then they said among the nations,
   “The LORD has done great things for them.”
The LORD has done great things for us;
   we are glad indeed.

Verse 3:

Restore our fortunes, O LORD,
   like the torrents in the southern desert.
Those who sow in tears
   shall reap rejoicing.

Verse 4:

Although they go forth weeping,
   carrying the seed to be sown,
they shall come back rejoicing,
   carrying their sheaves.
