A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem.
1 When the Lord brought back his exiles to Jerusalem,*
it was like a dream!
2 We were filled with laughter,
and we sang for joy.
And the other nations said,
“What amazing things the Lord has done for them.”
3 Yes, the Lord has done amazing things for us!
What joy!
as streams renew the desert.
will harvest with shouts of joy.
6 They weep as they go to plant their seed,
but they sing as they return with the harvest.
