1A Song of Ascents. When Yehovah brought back those who returned to Zion, We were like those who dream.
2Then our mouth was filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing: Then they said among the nations, Yehovah has done great things for them.
3Yehovah has done great things for us, For which we are glad.
4Turn again our captivity, O Yehovah, As the streams in the South.
5Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6He who goes forth and weeps, bearing seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
