A song of ascents.

1 When the Lordrestored the fortunes ofZion,

we were like those who dreamed.

2 Our mouths were filled with laughter,

our tongues with songs of joy.

Then it was said among the nations,

‘The Lordhas done great things for them.’

3 The Lordhas done great things for us,

and we are filled with joy.

4 Restore our fortunes,Lord,

like streams in the Negev.

5 Those who sow with tears

will reap with songs of joy.

6 Those who go out weeping,

carrying seed to sow,

will return with songs of joy,

carrying sheaves with them.
