| 1A song of ascents. When the LORD restored the captives of Zion, we were like dreamers. | 1When the LORD brought back Zion's exiles, we were like dreamers. |
| 2Then 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.” | 2Then our mouths were filled with laughter, and our tongues formed joyful shouts. Then it was said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them." |
| 3The LORD has done great things for us; we are filled with joy. | 3The great things that the LORD has done for us gladden us. |
| 4Restore our captives, O LORD, like streams in the Negev. | 4Restore our exiles, LORD, like the streams of the Negev. |
| 5Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy. | 5Those who weep while they plant will sing for joy while they harvest. |
| 6He who goes out weeping, bearing a trail of seed, will surely return with shouts of joy, carrying sheaves of grain. | 6The one who goes out weeping, carrying a bag of seeds, will surely return with a joyful song, bearing sheaves from his harvest. |
