1 | When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream. |
2 | Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them." |
3 | The LORD has done great things for us; we are glad. |
4 | Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like the watercourses in the Negeb! |
5 | May those who sow in tears reap with shouts of joy! |
6 | He that goes forth weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him. |
