^1. A Song of Ascents. When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream.

^2. Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them."

^3. The LORD has done great things for us; we are glad.

^4. Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like the watercourses in the Negeb!

^5. May those who sow in tears reap with shouts of joy!

^6. He that goes forth weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
