| 1 A song of ascents. When the LORD brought back the captives to Zion, we were like men who dreamed. |
| 2 Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs 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 are filled with joy. |
| 4 Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like streams in the Negev. |
| 5 Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy. |
| 6 He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him. |
