2 We celebrated with laughterand joyful songs.In foreign nations it was said,“The Lord has worked miraclesfor his people.”
3 And so we celebratedbecause the Lord had indeedworked miracles for us.
4 Our Lord, we ask you to blessour people again,and let us be like streamsin the Southern Desert.
5 We cried as we went outto plant our seeds.Now let us celebrateas we bring in the crops.
6 We cried on the wayto plant our seeds,but we will celebrate and shoutas we bring in the crops.
