A Joyful Return to Zion

A Song of Ascents.

1When the Lord brought back [a]the captivity of Zion,
We were like those who dream.
2Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
And our tongue with singing.
Then they said among the [b]nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”
3The Lord has done great things for us,
And we are glad.

4Bring back our captivity, O Lord,
As the streams in the South.

5Those who sow in tears
Shall reap in joy.
6He who continually goes [c]forth weeping,
Bearing [d]seed for sowing,
Shall doubtless come again [e]with rejoicing,
Bringing his sheaves with him.
