• 1. &lt;A Song of Ascents.&gt;<br>
    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 certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.
