A * song of ascents.
1 When the Lord restored the fortunes of * Zion, g
we were like those who dream. h
2 Our mouths were filled with laughter then, i
and our tongues with shouts of joy. j
Then they said among the nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.” k
3 The Lord had done great things for us;
we were joyful. l
4 Restore our fortunes, m Lord,
like watercourses in the * Negev. n
will reap with shouts of joy. o
6 Though one goes along weeping,
carrying the bag of seed,
he will surely come back with shouts of joy,
carrying his sheaves. p
