A Song of Ascents.
1 When Yahweh brought back those who returned to Zion,
we were like those who dream. 2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations,
"Yahweh has done great things for them." 3 Yahweh has done great things for us,
and we are glad. 4 Restore our fortunes again, Yahweh,
like the streams in the Negev. 5 Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.
6 He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing,
will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.
