| 1 | Song of ascensions. In Jehovah turning back the returning of we were as those dreaming. | 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 mouth will be filled with laughter, and our tongue with rejoicing: then shall they say among the nations, Jehovah magnified to do with those. | 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 | Jehovah magnified to do with us; we were made glad. | 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 | Jehovah turned back our captivity, as torrents in the south. | Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like streams in the Negeb! | Restore our fortunes, LORD, like streams in the Negev. | |
| 5 | They sowing in tears shall reap in rejoicing. | Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy! | Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy. | |
| 6 | He going, shall go; and weeping he lifted up the drawing of the seed: coming, he shall come with joy, lifting up his sheaves. | 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. | |
