1When Jehovah turned the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
2Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with rejoicing: then said they among the nations, Jehovah hath done great things for them.
3Jehovah hath done great things for us; [and] we are joyful.
4Turn our captivity, O Jehovah, as the streams in the south.
5They that sow in tears shall reap with rejoicing:
6He goeth forth and weepeth, bearing seed for scattering; he cometh again with rejoicing, bearing his sheaves.
