Orthodox Jewish Bible 1 (Shir HaMa'alot, [Song of Ascents]) When Hashem brought the return of the captivity of Tziyon, we were like the cholemim (them that dream). 2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and leshoneinu (our tongue) with rinnah (joyful song); then said they among the Goyim, Hashem hath done great things for them. 3 Hashem hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad. 4 Return our captivity and restore our fortunes, Hashem, like torrents in the Negev. 5 They that sow in dimah (tears) shall reap in rinnah (joyful song). 6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing meshek hazara (seed to be sown) shall doubtless come again with rinnah, bearing his alummot (sheaves [of harvest]).
