1 When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion,We were like those who dream.
2 Then 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 Those who sow in tearsShall reap in joy.
6 He who continually goes forth weeping,Bearing seed for sowing,Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,Bringing his sheaves with him.
