2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then it was said among the nations, "The Lord has done great things for them."

4 LORD, change our circumstances for the better, like dry streams in the desert waste!
4 Restore our fortunes, O Lord, like the watercourses in the Negeb.
5 Let those who plant with tears reap the harvest with joyful shouts.
5 May those who sow in tears reap with shouts of joy.
6 Let those who go out, crying and carrying their seed, come home with joyful shouts, carrying bales of grain!
6 Those who go out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, carrying their sheaves.
