1
|
A song of ascents. When the LORD restored the captives of Zion, we were like dreamers. |
|
|
2
|
Then our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with shouts of joy. Then it was said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.” |
|
|
3
|
The LORD has done great things for us; we are filled with joy. |
|
|
4
|
Restore our captives, O LORD, like streams in the Negev. |
|
|
5
|
Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy. |
|
|
6
|
He who goes out weeping, bearing a trail of seed, will surely return with shouts of joy, carrying sheaves of grain. |
