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 it was said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”
3
The LORD has done great things for us, and we rejoiced.
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
Those who go out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, carrying their sheaves.
