JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1When the LORD restored the captives of Zion, we were like dreamers.
1A Song of Ascents. When the LORD brought back those that returned to Zion, we were like unto them that dream.
2Then our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with shouts of joy. Then it was said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”
2Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing; then said they among the nations: 'The LORD hath done great things with these.'
3The LORD has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.
3The LORD hath done great things with us; we are rejoiced.
4Restore our captives, O LORD, like streams in the Negev.
4Turn our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the dry land.
5Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.
5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6He who goes out weeping, bearing a trail of seed, will surely return with shouts of joy, carrying sheaves of grain.
6Though he goeth on his way weeping that beareth the measure of seed, he shall come home with joy, bearing his sheaves.
