When the Lord returned the captives to Zion,
we were like those who dream.
Then our mouths were filled with laughter,
and our tongues with singing.
And at that time the other nations declared,
`The Lord has done great things for them.’
The Lord has done great things for us,
and we are glad.
Restore our fortunes, O Lord,
as streams in a dry land.
May those who sow in tears
reap with songs of joy.
May those who go out bearing precious seed for sowing,
return with rejoicing,
carrying their sheaves.
