1 When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,l
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!
reap with shouts of joy!
bearing the seed for sowing,
shall come home with shouts of joy,
bringing his sheaves with him.
