Translation

1 A song of ascents. When the Lord returns the returnees to Zion, we shall be like dreamers.
2 Then our mouths will be filled with laughter and our tongues with songs of praise; then they will say among the nations, "The Lord has done great things with these."
3 "The Lord has done great things with us; we were happy."
4 Return, O Lord, our captivity like rivulets in arid land.
5 Those who sow with tears will reap with song.
6 He will go along weeping, carrying the valuable seeds; he will come back with song, carrying his sheaves.
