1
When the Lord brought his people back from captivity to Zion, it was as if we were dreaming!
2
We laughed so much, we sang for joy. The other nations said, “The Lord has done wonderful things for these people.”
3
The Lord certainly has done wonderful things for us. How happy we were!
4
Please return and help us again, Lord. Renew us like streams of water that renew the Negev desert.
5
Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy!
6
Those who weep as they go out to sow their seed will be singing in celebration when they carry the harvest home.
