1WHEN the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,
we were like those who dreamed.
2 Our mouths were filled with laughter,
and our tongues with shouts of joy.
Then they said among the nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”
3 The Lord has done great things for us,
and we are filled with joy.
4 Restore our fortunes, O Lord,
like streams in the Negev.
5 Those who sow in tears
will reap with shouts of joy.
6 He who goes forth weeping,
bearing precious seeds to sow,
will come back rejoicing,
carrying sheaves with him.
