1 When the LORD brought back Zion's exiles, we were like dreamers. When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream. A song of ascents. When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dreamed.
2 Then our mouths were filled with laughter, and our tongues formed joyful shouts. Then it was said among the nations, |The LORD has done great things for them.| 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.” 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 great things that the LORD has done for us gladden us. The LORD has done great things for us; we are glad. The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.
4 Restore our exiles, LORD, like the streams of the Negev. Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like streams in the Negeb! Restore our fortunes, LORD, like streams in the Negev.
5 Those who weep while they plant will sing for joy while they harvest. Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy! Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy.
6 The one who goes out weeping, carrying a bag of seeds, will surely return with a joyful song, bearing sheaves from his harvest. He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him. Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them.
