1 When the Lord changed Zion’s circumstances for the better,it was like we had been dreaming.
2 Our mouths were suddenly filled with laughter;our tongues were filled with joyful shouts.It was even said, at that time, among the nations,"The Lord has done great things for them!"
3 Yes, the Lord has done great things for us,and we are overjoyed.
4 Lord, change our circumstances for the better,like dry streams in the desert waste!
5 Let those who plant with tearsreap the harvest with joyful shouts.
6 Let those who go out,crying and carrying their seed,come home with joyful shouts,carrying bales of grain!
