1
When the LORD brought back [1321]the captives of Zion, We were like those who dream.
2
Then our mouth was filled with laughter And our tongue with joyful shouting; Then they said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”
3
The LORD has done great things for us; We are joyful.
4
Restore our fortunes, LORD, As the [1322]streams in the [1323]South.
5
Those who sow in tears shall harvest with joyful shouting.
6
One who goes here and there weeping, carrying his bag of seed, Shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
