1 When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

When the LORD brought back the captive ones of Zion, We were like those who dream.
2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.
2
Then our mouth was filled with laughter And our tongue with joyful shouting; Then they said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them."
3 The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
3
The LORD has done great things for us; We are glad.
4 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.

Restore our captivity, O LORD , As the streams in the South.
5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
5
Those who sow in tears shall reap with joyful shouting.
6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
6
He who goes to and fro weeping, carrying his bag of seed, Shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
