- 1When the Lord brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.
- 2Then 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.”
- 3The Lord has done great things for us, and we are glad.
- 4Restore our fortunes again, the Lord, like the streams in the Negev.
- 5Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.
- 6He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.
