A Song of Ascents.
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 tears Shall 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.
