¹ When the Lord ^(a)brought back ^[a]the captive ones of Zion,
We were ^(b)like those who dream.
² Then our ^(c)mouth was filled with laughter
And our ^(d)tongue with joyful shouting;
Then they said among the nations,
"The Lord has ^(e)done great things for them."
³ The Lord has done great things for us;
We are ^(f)glad.

⁴ Restore our captivity, O Lord,
As the ^[b](g)streams in the ^[c]South.
⁵ Those who sow in ^(h)tears shall reap with ⁽ⁱ⁾joyful shouting.
⁶ He who goes to and fro weeping, carrying his bag of seed,
Shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
