1When Jehovah brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.
2Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, Jehovah has done great things for them.
3Jehovah has done great things for us. We are glad.
4Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah, as the streams in the South.
5Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6He who goes forth and weeps, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves.
