¹ When the Lord ^(b)restored the fortunes of Zion,
    we were like those who ^(c)dream.
² Then our ^(d)mouth was filled with laughter,
    and our tongue with shouts of joy;
then they said among the nations,
    ^(e)"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 streams in the Negeb!
^5 (f)Those who sow in tears
    shall reap with shouts of joy!
⁶ He who goes out weeping,
    bearing the seed for sowing,
shall come home with shouts of joy,
    bringing his sheaves with him.
