1 When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,

we were like those who dreamed.

1 When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion,

We were like them that dream.

1 When the Lord brought back his exiles to Jerusalem,

it was like a dream!

1 When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion,

We were like those who dream.

1 When the Lord brought the prisoners back to Jerusalem,

it seemed as if we were dreaming.

1 When Jehovah brought back those that returned to Zion,

We were like unto them that dream.

1 When Jehovah turned the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

1 When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, 

it was as if we were dreaming. 

1 When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,

we were like those who dream.

1 When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,

we were like those who dream.

1 When Yahweh restored the fortunes of Zion,

we were like dreamers.

1 Our enemies took us away from Zion.

But when the Lord brought us home,

it seemed like a dream to us.

1 When the Lord brought back the captive ones of Zion,

We were like those who dream.
