¹ It will be like a dream
    when the Lord comes back with the captives of Zion.^[a]
2 We will laugh and sing happy songs!
    Then the other nations will say,
    "The Lord did a great thing for Zion!"
³ Yes, we will be happy
    because the Lord did a great thing for us.

⁴ So, Lord, bring back the good times,
    like a desert stream filled again with flowing water.
⁵ Then those who were sad when they planted
    will be happy when they gather the harvest!
⁶ Those who cried as they carried the seeds^[b]
    will be happy when they bring in the crops!
