JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1When the lord brought back the captivity of Sion, we became like men comforted.
1A Song of Ascents. They that trust in the LORD are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.
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 are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about His people, from this time forth and for ever.
3The Lord hath done great things for us: we are become joyful.
3For the rod of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; that the righteous put not forth their hands unto iniquity.
4Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as a stream in the south.
4Do good, O LORD, unto the good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
5But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.
6Going they went and wept, casting their seeds.
