The captives of Zion restored

1
A Canticle in steps. When the Lord turned back the captivity of Zion, we became like those who are consoled.
2
Then our mouth was filled with gladness and our tongue with exultation. Then they will say among the nations: “The Lord has done great things for them.”
3
The Lord has done great things for us. We have become joyful.
4
Convert our captivity, O Lord, like a torrent in the south.
5
Those who sow in tears shall reap in exultation.
6
When departing, they went forth and wept, sowing their seeds.
7
But when returning, they will arrive with exultation, carrying their sheaves.

The captives of Zion restored

1
When the LORD brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.
2
Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations,The LORD has done great things for them.”
3
The LORD has done great things for us, and we are glad.
4
Restore our fortunes again, LORD, like the streams in the Negev.
5
Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.
6
He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.
