1 When יהוה turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, יהוה hath done great things for them.
3 יהוה hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
4 Turn again our captivity, O יהוה, as the streams in the south.
5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
