A Song of Ascents
The Exiles Restored
1When the LORD brought back Zion’s exiles,a
we were like dreamers.b
2Then our mouths were filled with laughter,
and our tongues formed joyful shouts.
Then it was said among the nations,
“The LORD has done great things for them.”
3The great things that the LORD has done for us
gladden us.
like the streams of the Negev.d
5Those who weep while they plant
will sing for joy while they harvest.
6The one who goes out weeping,e
carrying a bag of seeds,
will surely return with a joyful song,
bearing sheaves from his harvest.f
