1
A Song of Ascents. [1] When [1†]the LORD brought back the captivity of Zion, [2†]We were like those who dream.
2
Then [3†]our mouth was filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”
3
The LORD has done great things for us, And we are glad.
4
Bring back our captivity, O LORD, As the streams in the South.
5
[4†]Those who sow in tears Shall reap in joy.
6
He who continually goes forth weeping, Bearing seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with [5†]rejoicing, Bringing his sheaves with him.
