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