1When יהוה turns back the captivity of Tsiyon, We shall be like dreamers.

2Then our mouth shall be filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing, Then shall they say among the gentiles, “יהוה has done great deeds for them.”

3יהוה shall do great deeds for us, We shall be glad.

4Turn back our captivity, O יהוה, Like the streams in the South.

5Those sowing in tears, shall reap with songs of joy.

6He who goes on and weeps, Bearing seed for sowing, Shall indeed come in with rejoicing, Bearing his sheaves.
