Berean Standard Bible
1When the lord brought back the captivity of Sion, we became like men comforted.
1Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion. It cannot be moved; it abides forever.
2Then was our mouth filled with gladness; and our tongue with joy. Then shall they say among the Gentiles: The Lord hath done great things for them.
2As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds His people, both now and forevermore.
3The Lord hath done great things for us: we are become joyful.
3For the scepter of the wicked will not rest upon the land allotted to the righteous, so that the righteous will not put forth their hands to injustice.
4Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as a stream in the south.
4Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, and to the upright in heart.
5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
5But those who turn to crooked ways the LORD will banish with the evildoers. Peace be upon Israel.
6Going they went and wept, casting their seeds.
