JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1When the LORD brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.
1A Song of Ascents. When the LORD brought back those that returned to Zion, we were like unto them that dream.
2Then 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.”
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, and we are glad.
3The LORD hath done great things with us; we are rejoiced.
4Restore our fortunes again, LORD, like the streams in the Negev.
4Turn our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the dry land.
5Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.
5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.
6Though he goeth on his way weeping that beareth the measure of seed, he shall come home with joy, bearing his sheaves.
