1When the Lord brought again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
2Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with joy: then said they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them.
3The Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we rejoice.
4O Lord, bring again our captivity, as the rivers in the South.
5They that sow in tears, shall reap in joy.
6They went weeping, and carried precious seed: but they shall return with joy, and bring their sheaves.
