¹ When the Lord brought us back to Jerusalem,^[a]
    it was like a dream!
² How we laughed, how we sang for joy!
    Then the other nations said about us,
    "The Lord did great things for them."
³ Indeed he did great things for us;
    how happy we were!

⁴ Lord, make us prosperous again,^[b]
    just as the rain brings water back to dry riverbeds.
⁵ Let those who wept as they planted their crops,
    gather the harvest with joy!

⁶ Those who wept as they went out carrying the seed
    will come back singing for joy,
    as they bring in the harvest.
