1. A Song of Ascents. When Jehovah turned back the captivity of Zion, we were like those who dream.
2. Then our mouth was full of laughter, and our tongue with joyful shouting; then they said among the nations, Jehovah will work great things with these.
3. Jehovah did great things to work with us; we are glad.
4. Turn her captivity again, O Jehovah, like the south streams.
5. Those who sow in tears shall reap with joyful shouting.
6. Surely he who walks and weeps, bearing a trail of seed, shall come again with joyful shouting, bearing his sheaves.
