1 > When Yahweh brought back those who returned to Zion, We were like those who dream.

2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, \"Yahweh has done great things for them.\"

3 Yahweh has done great things for us, And we are glad.

4 Restore our fortunes again, Yahweh, Like the streams in the Negev.

5 Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

6 He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, Will assuredly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.
