1 When the LORD restored the captives of Zion, we were like dreamers.
2 Then our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with shouts of joy. Then it was said among the nations, βThe LORD has done great things for them.β
3 The LORD has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.
4 Restore our captives, O LORD, like streams in the Negev.
5 Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.
